From Rotary International: “More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population. Our 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.”
The Rotary Club of China Lake has a tradition of supporting education through our annual Scholarship program, but there’s more that can be done.
