Basic Education & Literacy

A key area of Rotary's focus aimed at providing basic education and literacy to all.


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.

We take action to empower educators to inspire learning at all ages.

We share our knowledge and experience with educators and other professionals who work with vulnerable populations.

Rotary members fight adult illiteracy by working with local advocates to offer community literacy programs. 

The Rotary Foundation supports education through scholarships, donations, and service projects around the world.
