Basic Education and Literacy

Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. 

More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate 

- 17% of the world’s adult population. 

We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.

Rotary takes action to empower educators to inspire learning at all ages. 

The Rotary Foundation supports efforts to improve education for all children, and literacy for children and adults. They train and mentor teachers, provide educational materials, and work to reduce gender disparity in education.
