Guatemala Literacy Project


 

Your Gift Will Change the Future for Guatemalan Children 

 

The Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) is a network of individual Rotarians, Rotary clubs and districts, and the nonprofit organization Cooperative for Education (CoEd) with a common interest in improving education for underserved students in Guatemala. It is one of the largest grassroots, multi-club, multi-district projects in Rotary, with over 500 participating clubs throughout its 20-year history.
 
GLP programs include: Culture of Reading Program, Textbook Program, Computer Centers Program and Rise Youth Development Program. 
 
The Rotary Club of North Bay is one of several clubs in Rotary District 7010 that has been supporting the project since about 2010 – through contributions and participation on the annual GLP tours.
