Polio Eradication

Although Polio has been eradicated in most of the world, transmission of this virus still exists today in Pakistan and Afghanistan. As long as a single child remains infected with poliovirus, children in all countries are at risk of contracting the disease.

There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented. Polio vaccine, given multiple times, can protect a child for life. Learn more about Polio.

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is a public-private partnership led by national governments with six partners – the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the vaccine alliance. Its goal is to eradicate polio worldwide.

Help IreneSofia Stamp Out Polio

Polio has effected my life in a myriad of ways. Although I have learned valuable lessons from having Polio, it’s something that I wouldn’t wish on any child. This is why I will be donating $10,000 to help eradicate it from the face of the earth!

The sale of three of my Signed Limited Editions MySelf Metal Prints [40” x 60” ] will fund a $10K donation to PolioEradication.org that will be matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation for a total donation of $30,000!
