Changing the world …
With a different approach to conquering illiteracy
You are reading this because you can ...
yet over a billion people in the world cannot.
The Problem
Over one sixth of the world is functionally illiterate, with devastating consequences for individuals and nations. The illiterate die young, earn less, and experience more crime.
The Challenge
Traditional models of education do not offer solutions to the vast global illiteracy problem in the short-term. The shortage of teachers and schools are the biggest constraints.
The Opportunity
Today, four great forces exist in the world, which, if harnessed and mobilized effectively could increase literacy dramatically. This is a massive, game-changing opportunity.
Our Plan
Our “Think Big, Start Small” plan began with a small proof-of-concept phase, has moved to a scaling phase with thousands, and will end with global expansion to millions.
Our President & CEO Shafiq Khan was invited by The World Bank president to speak at their 2022 Global Conference in October. The topic:
“The Heart of a Resilient Future: Investing in Education for Our Children and Youth”
