Rotary Theme for the month of September:
“Basic Education and Literacy,” one of Rotary’s Seven Areas of Focus.
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17% of the world’s adult population. Rotary’s goal: to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg has assisted literacy skill development:
- in Manitoba with the distribution of over 30,000 to northern, isolated, Indigineous communities
- Literacy education in Bangladesh with the Rohyinga women and girls refugees
- Literacy education with women and girls in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The Rotary Club of Winnipeg was founded Nov 3, 1910
We acknowledge that we are meeting on Treaty One Territory, Traditional Land of First Nations, and the Homeland of the Red River Metis. We recognize that the clean water we are drinking is sourced from the Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. As Rotarians we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
