(UK, 1091843) Down Syndrome International (DSi) is a global network of organisations and individuals whose mission is to improve quality of life for people with Down syndrome worldwide and promote their inherent right to be accepted and included as valued and equal members of their communities. We aim to: With around 7 million people with Down syndrome living worldwide, it is the most common and recognised form of learning disability. But most people with Down syndrome face a harsh reality of very low life expectancy, physical and psychological abuse, stigma and segregation, and very limited life opportunities as children and adults. People with Down syndrome living in poverty face all of these challenges, but it is also true across the spectrum of wealth due to educational, political, medical and social barriers. We provide training and support to professionals, organisations and people with Down syndrome to empower them to advocate for the right to basic living standards, medical care, education and acceptance into society, through our "REACH OUT" outreach programmes. In addition, DSi works to connect the global Down syndrome community so that people with Down syndrome can speak with a single voice, we organise the World Down Syndrome Congress held every 3 years, and we raise awareness through our global initiative World Down Syndrome Day on 21 March every year www.worlddownsyndromeday.org.

Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, and for as little as .40p, a child can be protected against the virus for life. If we don't finish the fight right now, more than 10 million children under the age of five could be paralyzed by polio in the next 40 years. In 2012, the effort to end polio made historic progress. The year ended with the lowest number of new polio cases in the fewest places ever. There were fewer than 250 reported cases, compared with 350,000 cases in 1985, when Rotary began the fight to end polio. Today, we are “this close” to creating a polio-free world, and we need your help. An important note for Rotary members – please do not use this site if you wish to receive your TRF/PHF recognition. This site is designed as a tool to help Rotary Clubs and non-members raise funds for Polio through sponsored events.
