Vaccinators Helena Massah and Boakai Sesay walk into a remote village to check if any children still need polio vaccinations in Bong County, Liberia, on July 30, 2025. Carrying a vaccine cooler, they continue their door-to-door outreach. In rural areas like this, vaccinators often travel long distances - on foot or by motorbike - to ensure every child is reached with lifesaving protection against polio.
International leaders, philanthropists, and global health partners announced today in Abu Dhabi a collective US$1.9 billion to advance polio eradication. The funds will accelerate vital efforts to reach 370 million children each year with polio vaccines, alongside strengthening health systems in affected countries to protect children from other preventable diseases. The global pledging event, ‘Investing in Humanity: Uniting to End Polio’, was hosted by the Mohamed bin Zayed Foundation for Humanity in partnership with GPEI, and took place at Abu Dhabi Finance Week.
