Polio Survivors & Associates
The Rotarian Action Group for Polio Survivors and Associates is the living legacy of the Rotary Polio-Plus polio eradication program through humanitarian assistance to polio survivors of the world. This Action Group operates in accordance with Rotary International policy, but is not controlled by Rotary.
Rotary International
What would it take to change the world? Rotary’s 1.2 million members believe it starts with a commitment to Service Above Self.
In more than 34,000 clubs worldwide, you’ll find members volunteering in communities at home and abroad to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio.
Rotary Clubs in Jos
In order to complete the operational and financial connection between the United States and Nigeria, Wheels of Hope expanded the partnership begun in 2008 with the $120,000 grant (see Our Story) to include Rotarians from four of the five Rotary Clubs in Jos. This team has named themselves Wheels of Hope – Nigeria, registered with the Federal authorities of Nigeria and signed a “Partnership Agreement” with us based on the principles and standards that govern the Rotary Foundation Matching Grant program. Without our Rotary Associates and their committed work to provide financial oversight, maintain production standards for the wheelchairs, coordinate wheelchair donation ceremonies and communicate wheelchair recipient stories to us, we could not keep Wheels of Hope generating a continuing and sustainable revenue stream for Ayuba and the Handicap Advocacy and Rehabilitation Center.
