Literacy empowers and liberates people.
|
Thank you to everyone who donated to the
Juneteenth Banned Book Giveaway! We gave away over 350 books! |

Literacy empowers and liberates people. Beyond its importance as part of the right to education, literacy improves lives by expanding capabilities which in turn reduces poverty, increases participation in the labour market and has positive effects on health and sustainable development.
|
Women empowered by literacy have a positive ripple effect on all aspects of development. They have greater life choices for themselves and an immediate impact on the health and education of their families, and in particular, the education of girl children.
