In 1985, Rotary launched its PolioPlus program, the first initiative to tackle global polio eradication through the mass vaccination of children. Over the past 30 years, more than 1 million Rotarians around the world have donated their time and personal resources to eradication of the Polio virus. Today, through the efforts launched by Rotary, new cases of Polio have seen a reduction of 99.9%. As Rotarians like to say…”We’re this close!”
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
