Proven learning outcomes
Children around the world are staring at empty bookshelves.
UNICEF reports seven out of ten 10-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries cannot read and understand a simple story. Without the support and resources to build basic literacy skills, children have little hope of building brighter futures.
Students are far more likely to learn to read when they can access a wide variety of high-quality, culturally relevant books in their own language. But in many countries, locally developed children’s literature is scarce or nonexistent. You can help us tell a different story.
Join our monthly giving campaign to fill more shelves in school libraries around the world with the books young readers need and deserve.
