What excites us most is that this future is within reach. With AI, technology, and dedicated literacy specialists, we can make it a reality. Tools like AI tutors and teaching assistants can personalize learning for each child and empower educators like never before. In 2025, AI and new technologies can unlock opportunities as we strive to eradicate illiteracy. To make this vision possible, we need your help.

  • As we close out 2024 and welcome 2025, now is the perfect time to make a lasting impact. A home library doesn’t just spark a love for reading—it builds confidence, nurtures imagination, and opens doors to endless opportunities. Studies show that children with books at home perform better in school and develop stronger communication skills. Yet millions of children worldwide still don’t have a single book at home. At the World Literacy Foundation, we’re committed to changing this by providing books to underserved communities and empowering children to dream, learn, and grow. Let’s work together to break the cycle of illiteracy and create a brighter future for children everywhere. End 2024 or start 2025 by giving the gift of reading: https://lnkd.in/dizt-_J

  • Did you know poor reading skills can impact more than just a child’s future career? In Australia, communities with the highest rates of illiteracy often have the lowest life expectancy. At our ROOP project, we’re determined to change this. We’re focusing on 20 low-socioeconomic communities, helping new parents build reading routines from birth and giving every child the chance to discover the joy of reading. Thanks to the generosity of Foundations, Businesses, Community Groups, and Donors, we’ve already started 6,200 children on their reading journey—sparking curiosity, imagination, and hope for a brighter future. Share your love of reading and #GiveTheGiftOfReading to a child who needs it most. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/e63hyhNP

  • Aisha is a 9-year-old girl living in Hackney. This Christmas while many children are asking for toys and games, Aisha desires to read, learn, and grow regardless of growing up in a family with limited access to age-appropriate books and high-quality reading materials at home. Her deepest wish is to continue her learning journey and dive into stories that could take her to new places or teach her new things. Help us ensure that children like Aisha, both in towns and in far-reaching rural areas, receive the gift of hope and potential for better reading. By donating, you can bring the magic of wonderful books to every child in the country. A book is more than just a gift; it’s an opportunity to explore, imagine, and learn new tools. This Christmas is a new opportunity for growth and gives Aisha and children everywhere a chance to experience the joy of reading. Join us in making this holiday season special for children in the UK.
