It’s time to protect every child.
Children across Africa are still being paralysed by polio. This deadly, debilitating disease is preventable thanks to safe and effective vaccines. To end polio, we must vaccinate every child until the virus is gone for good. Eradicating polio is within reach, with continued commitment and action from every family, leader, and community.

From 24 April – 24 May, Rise Together is inviting people to Strava to take part and contribute towards the collective goal of completing 40 million minutes of movement: for the 20 million people able to walk today that to efforts against polio and the 20 million health workers and volunteers dedicated to ending polio.
