Rotary Club for Global Action

09/04/2025

Join our next meeting Tuesday 9/9 AM CEST (Monday 9/8, 11 PM, PT where Kris Nystrom will be our guest speaker.

Kris spent thirty-six years in Connecticut, US, as an English teacher, administrator, and university lecturer in public schools and clinical settings.
Much of his career was dedicated to building literacy programs and supporting traditionally
marginalized students.

He founded Reading the World, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit that addresses school deserts
in Africa, in response to research on global literacy.
Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest
literacy rates in the world, largely due to colonial oppression and continued exploitation
of the continent by first-world nations. The best way forward is education, and that starts
with literacy.
Literacy is a moral imperative.
Current projects are ongoing in Kenya and Ghana.
