Very Rare highly sought after Lions Club International One Shot One Life Measles initiative Polka Dot Ribbon Pin
A dedicated partner in the global Measles and Rubella Initiative, LCIF introduced their own measles initiative, One Shot, One Life: Lions Measles Initiative, when Lions knew they could be a successful addition to the global efforts of reducing the prevalence of measles.
In 2010, Lions... and LCIF received an initial grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help fight measles within four specific regions: Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mali and Nigeria. Lions involved in this pilot initiative focused their efforts in three main areas: (1) advocacy at the local, regional and national levels (2) direct involvement in social marketing and mobilization (3) financial support. The efforts by Lions and the Measles Initiative partners were tremendously successful, resulting in 41 million children being vaccinated within these four countries.
