The Rotary Clubs of Valle de Guatemala and Rice Lake are thrilled to announce that the Guatemala Literacy Project (GLP) Global Grant for the 2022-2023 Rotary year has been approved by The Rotary Foundation! Global Grant #2238721 is for a total amount of USD $552,615!
146 clubs and 23 districts contributed to this Global Grant, which will provide the gift of literacy, education, and training to more than 7,200 children and teachers in rural Guatemala, mainly during the 2024 Guatemalan school year (January to October).
Our clubs can’t do this alone; THANK YOU for joining us in this successful effort and congratulations on a job well done!
In Rotary,

P.S. 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 2023-2024 Rotary year by joining Global Grant #2351451, hosted by the Rotary Clubs of Guatemala-Las Américas (D-4250) and Downey, CA (D-5280)!
Thank You!
