  • 99 Percent of the Way to Polio Eradication

    The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) has just launched a 3-year strategic plan that outlines a vision and the steps necessary to immunizing every last child against polio - a terrible, disfiguring illness.

  • ‘Nearly’ Does Not Kill the Bird

    I see the devastating effects of polio everyday in the work I do. I work with polio survivors through my organization Wheelchairs for Nigeria that provides hand-powered wheelchairs to people crippled by polio.

  • Three Children Closer to a Polio-Free World

    In April 2010, I traveled to Nigeria to monitor a polio campaign in the state of Niger. Just one year ago, polio was widespread across the state.

  • Nigeria Advances the Fight Against Polio

    With continued hard work and investment the world is on a path toward something pretty incredible: the eradication of polio.

  • Bill Gates on Polio Eradication in Nigeria

    In June, 2010, Bill Gates travelled to a northern state in Nigeria. His focus: Learn how Nigeria is making progress in its fight against polio.
