Rotary International has declared September as Basic Education and Literacy Month, emphasizing the importance of education and literacy in building strong communities. This declaration highlights the need for collective action to improve educational outcomes and foster a love for reading among children. As Rotaractors, our commitment to education and literacy serves as a call to action for all of us to get involved and make a difference.


The decline in the quality of education and the noticeable drop in children’s reading habits are pressing issues that need our attention. It is imperative that we find innovative and effective ways to motivate our children to read and learn. Strengthening the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy is essential. Ensuring that children have access to quality basic education is a priority. By working together, we can address these challenges and support the education of our children.
Empowering communities to take action and make a difference in the lives of children is crucial. Let us use this month to reflect on the importance of basic education and literacy, and to take concrete steps to support and improve the educational experiences of children in our communities. Together, We Support Education.
