Help millions of children learn to read and rise to their full potential
Illiteracy is a global crisis holding back millions of individuals and entire communities. If every child could read, 171 million people would rise out of poverty. Your donation allows us to create mother tongue children’s books, reach those most in need, and partner with local organizations, all in the fight to end childhood illiteracy.
