More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population.
Rotary's Education 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
We take action to empower educators to inspire learning at all ages.

Rotary vision: That it meet the challenge of the Space Age.
“We must have the ability to learn from our friends; to listen to the ideas of other people and to weigh them…to have the contemplative quality of our [Asian] friends…to be scholars as are our friends in Germany, England and Scandinavia…to learn from our Spanish and Latin brothers the art of gracious living.”
