The Rotary Clubs of Guatemala Oeste and Sudbury are thrilled to announce that the Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) Global Grant for the 2019-2020 Rotary year has been approved by The Rotary Foundation! Global Grant #1989785 is for a total amount of US $631,247. This project benefits so many people in Guatemala and we couldn’t do it without you, so THANK YOU for joining us in this successful effort.

149 clubs, 19 districts, and a $106,256 match from the Government of Canada contributed to this Global Grant, which will provide the gift of literacy, education, and training to more than 7,600 children and teachers in rural Guatemala. That’s incredible!

While this grant will have an enormous impact, we still have more work to do if we are going to end poverty and illiteracy in Guatemala. Continue supporting Guatemalan students during the 2020-2021 Rotary year by joining Global Grant #2012567, hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Quetzaltenango (D-4250) and Windsor-Roseland, ON (D-6400)!
