Organisation Summary

The World Literacy Foundation is a global non-profit organisation striving to ensure that every child regardless of geographic location, has the opportunity to acquire literacy skills and books to reach their full potential – succeeding at school and beyond.

We’re changing children’s lives through literacy.
– We provide children with books and education resources, so they can discover the joy of reading
– We bring literacy support to disadvantaged children who are struggling to read and write
– We gather global literacy leaders and organisations to share ideas and collaborate within the sector
– We bring together innovative technology, e-books, and digital activities to advance the learning of children in remote communities in their mother tongue and English
– We are a global voice to spread and promote the importance of literacy, we empower people to advocate in their local community for this cause
– We involve parents in mentoring programs to help them instil the love of reading in their children and create a habit of reading at home
