Rotarians Pledge to Eradicate Illiteracy from India

Rotary International’s successful “End Polio” Program that resulted in eradication of Polio, 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 focus but inter-linked with the others in objective and content so as to contribute to the program goal of Total Literacy accompanied with improvement in learning outcome of primary / elementary education and spread of adult literacy in various parts of the country.

2 The famous American author Robert Fulghum said, “It will be a great day when our schools have 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 are languishing 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 the eighth largest defence budget in the world. The education budget during the same period was increased by 18 percent and yet it is only Rs.61,427 crores. By implementing the Right to Education Act from this year, the government is promising compulsory education to children between the ages 6 to 14 years. A sizeable chunk of the money is supposed to be spent on school education. The rapid increase in population in India combined with the lack of will by the government to increase the infrastructure in schools, has resulted in children being made to go to schools which are just an apology for a shelter. Squatting on uneven floors without proper ventilation and toilets, school children are put through a severe strain in government schools which are functioning in many cities and villages. In some towns the classes are conducted under the trees. Imagine how the stones and the hard surfaces can injure the little ones who are made to sit on the ground. No wonder many children drop out of schools, especially girls.

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

Building toilets, providing clean drinking water, giving furniture such as dual desks and chairs and books form a part of this exercise. Supporting public schools is our responsibility. As the former US Vice President Dick Cheney said, “From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that 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.

10 PROVIDING TOILETS

"WASH-in-Schools reduces sicknesses in school children. Around the World, half of the ailments of school children are related to unsanitary conditions and lack of personal hygiene. Providing access to 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't want to go to school because of lack of sanitation facilities in the school. Even if they do go they stop drinking water. Break the Taboo! Sanitation and hygiene are not dirty words - they are the keys to child survival, development and growth. Widely considered the most important medical advance of the last 150 years improved sanitation has yet to reach 2.6 billion people in the developing world. The result is not surprising and yet it is shocking: millions of children die each year from preventable diseases. These numbers are extreme: the time for action is now. Like HIV / AIDS in the 1980's we must break the Taboo!. Providing toilets will increase female literacy (due to increased school attendance where proper sanitation facilities exist), a country's economy can grow by 0.3 percent. (Brocklehurst, 2004). According to WHO, achieving the MDG for sanitation would result in $ 66 billion gained through time, productivity, averted illness and death and health expenses (Hutton and Haller, 2004) WHO estimates that a 10 year increase in average life expectancy at birth translates into a rise of 0.33 - 0.4% in economic growth per year.

Save Our Schools Program envisages construction of Toilet Blocks specially for girl children. Over the years we have constructed several toilet blocks with the support of our partners in Austrialia, companies like General Electric and several software companies from Andhra Pradesh. Join us to provide Toilets in Schools

11 "Overall, investing in water and sanitation projects has a strong multiplier effect - the economic benefits range from $ 3 to $ 34 for each dollar spent depending on the location". - Stockholm International water Institute and WHO.

Provision of Reverse Osmosis Plants for Safe Quality Drinking Water in Schools

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.

12 For every 15 seconds, a child somewhere in the world dies from the water related diseases. By 2015, nearly 3 billion people will live in countries where water is difficult or impossible. Children do not go to school since they have to walk miles and miles to fetch a pail of water.

By providing reverse osmosis plants or hand wells we will be able to provide safe quality drinking water to children. The health of the children increase and dropout ratio will decrease. Join us in providing Reverse Osmosis Plants in Schools
