Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment

 The Rotary Youth Programme of Enrichment (RYPEN) aims to create in young adults an awareness of their place in society through a weekend live in seminar.

End Polio Now

Polio cases have declined rapidly since 1985, but the fight isn't over. Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, and for as little as US$0.60, 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. Find out more to End Polio now.
