Rotarians Pledge to Eradicate Illiteracy from India

Rotary International’s successful “End Polio” Program that resulted in eradication ofPolio, totally from India and from nearly 99% of the world, has motivated the Rotarians

in South Asia to adopt “Rotary’s Total Literacy Mission” in India, the Rotary India

Literacy Mission wishes to achieve the Literacy goals through its T-E-A-C-H Program:

T - Teacher Support

E - E-Learning

A - Adult Literacy

C - Child Development

H - Happy Schools

Thus, the “T-E-A-C-H Program” includes FIVE “Projects”, each with specific focusbut inter-linked with the others in objective and content so as to contribute to theprogram goal of Total Literacy accompanied with improvement in learning outcome ofprimary / elementary education and spread of adult literacy in various parts of thecountry.

Rotary International District 3150 encompasses 2 Revenue Districts Guntur and

Prakasam in the State of Andhra Pradesh and 10 Revenue Districts in the State of

Telangana including Twin Cities. The Clubs in 3150 are involved in providing safe

drinking water in villages and schools conducting health camps and eye camps

providing sewing machines and buffallows to the under privelaged women. The clubs

are also actively involved in providing reverse osmosis plants in schools and school

desks. Over the last Five Years we have provided more than 75,000 school desks with

the support of our International Partners.

The famous American author Robert Fulghum said, “It will be a great day when our schoolshave all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.”Unfortunately, that day has still not come in India and schools run by the government arelanguishing for want of basic facilities. This is true for many privately run schools in semi-urban and rural areas. India’s defence budget during 2012–2013 is Rs.1,93,407 crores (US$40.44 billion), an increase of over 17 percent over the previous year. India maintains theeighth largest defence budget in the world. The education budget during the same periodwas increased by 18 percent and yet it is only Rs.61,427 crores. By implementing the Rightto Education Act from this year, the government is promising compulsory education to childrenbetween the ages 6 to 14 years. A sizeable chunk of the money is supposed to be spent onschool education.

The rapid increase in population in India combined with the lack of will by the government toincrease the infrastructure in schools, has resulted in children being made to go to schoolswhich are just an apology for a shelter. Squatting on uneven floors without proper ventilationand toilets, school children are put through a severe strain in government schools which arefunctioning in many cities and villages. In some towns the classes are conducted under thetrees. Imagine how the stones and the hard surfaces can injure the little ones who are madeto sit on the ground. No wonder many children drop out of schools, especially girls.

The dropout rate in schools is as high as six percent in India in some states. The wayto stem this trend is to set up basic facilities in schools and this is what Rotary isaiming to do under the programme of Save Our schools.

Building toilets, providing clean drinking water, giving furniture such as dual desksand chairs and books form a part of this exercise. Supporting public schools is ourresponsibility. As the former US Vice President Dick Cheney said, “From kindergartento graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being surethat every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.” Providing educational

facilities for the underprivileged is the aim of the Rotary International.

"WASH-in-Schools reduces sicknesses in school children. Around the World, half of the ailments ofschool children are related to unsanitary conditions and lack of personal hygiene. Providing accessto WASH at a place where children spend most of their day is transformative"

- Paul Faeth, Executive Director, Global Water Challenge

Strange as it may sound girls doesn'twant to go to school because of lack ofsanitation facilities in the school. Even ifthey do go they stop drinking water.Break the Taboo! Sanitation and hygieneare not dirty words - they are the keys tochild survival, development and growth.Widely considered the most importantmedical advance of the last 150 yearsimproved sanitation has yet to reach 2.6billion people in the developing world.The result is not surprising and yet it isshocking: millions of children die eachyear from preventable diseases. Thesenumbers are extreme: the time for actionis now. Like HIV / AIDS in the 1980's wemust break the Taboo!.

Providing toilets will increasefemale literacy (due to increasedschool attendance where propersanitation facilities exist), acountry's economy can grow by 0.3percent. (Brocklehurst, 2004).According to WHO, achieving theMDG for sanitation would result in$ 66 billion gained through time,productivity, averted illness anddeath and health expenses (Huttonand Haller, 2004) WHO estimatesthat a 10 year increase in averagelife expectancy at birth translatesinto a rise of 0.33 - 0.4% ineconomic growth per year.

Save Our Schools Program envisagesconstruction of Toilet Blocks specially forgirl children. Over the years we haveconstructed several toilet blocks with thesupport of our partners in Austrialia,companies like General Electric and severalsoftware companies from Andhra Pradesh.

"Overall, investing in water and sanitation projects has a strongmultiplier effect - the economic benefits range from $ 3 to $ 34 foreach dollar spent depending on the location". - StockholmInternational water Institute and WHO.

It is estimated that 60 million children per year suffer from stunted growth and

development due to waterborne diarrhea diseases. Consider the terrible fact, today or on

any given day, half the people in developing countries are sick because they drink

contaminated water. 80% of all diseases in the developing countries are caused by

contaminated water like cholera, typhoid, worm disease, trachoma, arsenic poisoning -

the list is endless and as it is with most diseases, children are the most vulnerable.

For every 15seconds, a childsomewhere in theworld dies from thewater relateddiseases. By 2015,nearly 3 billionpeople will live incountries wherewater is difficult or
