Basic Education and Literacy Month

More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population.

Our 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. Read more >

October 24th Is World Polio Day

Rotary launched the PolioPlus program in 1985 with a promise to children everywhere that one day, they won’t have to fear being paralyzed by polio. It has been a long and challenging endeavour to contain wild poliovirus to just two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan. And as in any marathon, the final mile of polio eradication is the most challenging.

Help Rotary eradicate polio by making a donation in honour of World Polio Day. Your contribution will be tripled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Led by the City of Rouyn-Noranda, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Rouyn-Noranda, the project aims to transform a vacant lot that has been empty for several years into a gathering place combining nature, culture, and civic life. "This lot had no purpose. It's been vacant since I took office. The idea is to make it a place where citizens can meet, while also greening our city," says Mayor Gilles Chapadeau. 
 

The project represents a total investment of $260,000, including a $100,000 contribution from the Rotary club and $50,000 in financial support from Trees Canada.
