Shymuli, 17, worked as a domestic helper to support her family of six. When Nasima, a community mobilizer, spoke to her parents about the power of education and sports, everything changed. Today, Shymulu goes to school & trains on the field after class. https://t.co/ImPo0U5U7L

Polio can change a child’s life forever - but it doesn’t have to. Safe and effective vaccines can protect every child from this preventable disease. Together, we can make polio history and give every child the chance to grow up strong and free. #WorldPolioDay
