$10M DONATION - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made a donation of $10 million to help in the fight to eradicate polio and provide other vaccinations for people around the world.
Money will help eradicate polio in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and a select number of African countries and also help eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus in areas where the disease is prevalent.
Of the $5 million donation to Rotary, half of that will go towards helping African countries regain progress in the fight against polio that was lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Rotary is grateful for this very generous contribution from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," said Michael K. McGovern, chair of Rotary’s International PolioPlus Committee in a church press release."The funding comes at a critical time for polio eradication efforts and will help protect children from lifelong paralysis due to the poliovirus.”
