International Literacy
Projects
The ability to read, write and do simple math is critical for the well-being of individuals in any society. International Literacy and numeracy projects allow us to make real contributions to building nations and reducing poverty. Your club may want to partner with another club/organization in sponsoring an international book or literacy project.
