Worldwide, 250 million children have no access to education, and more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate; meaning roughly 17 percent of the global adult population struggles with illiteracy. Rotarians support educational projects that provide technology, teacher training, vocational training teams, student meal programs, and low-cost textbooks to communities. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
