Our international projects span the globe, including participation in the PolioPlus campaign in Ghana, Nigeria and India, Tsunami relief, especially in Sri Lanka, and water wells in Africa. Our international projects upcoming will be with our neighbors to the south, Honduras and Mexico.

In 1985, Rotary launched the PolioPlus program to protect children worldwide from the cruel and fatal consequences of polio. In 1988, the World Health Assembly challenged the world to eradicate polio. Since that time, Rotary's efforts and those of partner agencies, including the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around the world, have achieved a 99 percent reduction in the number of polio cases worldwide.
