More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate.
That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population. Rotary's goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.
HOW ROTARY MAKES HELP HAPPEN

MENTORING STUDENTS: Rotary club pairs students with celebrity and CEO mentors for success.
TEACHER TRAINING: We share our knowledge and experience with educators and other professionals who work with vulnerable populations.
ADULT LITERACY: Rotary members fight adult illiteracy by working with local advocates to offer community literacy programs.
