The Guatemala Literacy Project is a network of individual Rotarians and the nonprofit Cooperative for Education dedicated to improving education for underserved students in Guatemala. Since 1997, over 800 clubs around the world have participated in the GLP. Guatemala has one of the most extreme combinations of poverty, illiteracy and inequality. 4 out of 5 indigenous Guatemalans live in poverty and 1 in 3 cannot not read or write. 
This year our Rotary Club has once again contributed to the GLP. Our $500 US is matched by District 5060 and RI, making a total of $1400 US.
This money will be put toward children's books and textbooks, training teachers, student access to computers skills, scholarships for impoverished students, and student supports services.

In 2024, 63,000 students of all ages are being served by this program. Our $500US will work towards to improving the lives of impoverished Guatemalan students.
