Basic education and literacy is one of Rotary’s six Areas of Focus. Consider these facts:
- If all women completed primary education, there would be 66% fewer maternal deaths.
- A child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past the age of five.
- If all students in low-income countries left school with basic reading skills, 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty, which would be equivalent to a 12% cut in world poverty.

Any club big or small can host a Rotary Day, and several clubs can combine to share ideas, talent, and resources. Get ideas in the July issue of Rotary Leader.
