The Guatemala Literacy Project has been described by for RI President Ian Riseley as the Gold Standard of Rotary Projects.
The Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) is one of the largest grassroots, multi-club, multi-district projects in Rotary. More than 800 clubs and 90 districts have been working together since 1997 to improve education for underserved students in Guatemala. In that time, more than 278,000 students have been served through four sustainable programs that are tested and proven to work. In 2017, then-RI President Ian Riseley called the GLP “the gold standard of Rotary projects” for its sustainability and impact.
Partnering with impoverished communities RI and clubs like the Rotary Club of Southlake, project trains teachers, provides textbooks, computers and youth development.
Southlake RC and its members have supported several of the students in this program. Recently, we received the terrific love notes below describing their joy over being able to participate in the program.
