World Literacy Foundation

We're on a mission to eradicate illiteracy by 2040. Operating since 2003. Currently, there is a lack of literacy skills amongst 776 million people globally.

We deliver books, support parents, and build literacy programs across Africa, Australia, Latin America, the UK, and USA. The Foundation believes that all individuals, particularly those in the poorest countries of the world, should have the same education opportunities we take for granted in the developed world. Higher literacy levels enable people to overcome the barriers of poverty, disease and

allow them to engage in employment which leads to future opportunities. The foundation uses literacy projects to make a positive impact for the health and well being of children trapped in poverty.

"Everywhere I go, the kids call me 'the book lady.'"

A title Dolly earned. 330 million books delivered to children over the course of her lifetime.

Children who grew up with a book arriving at their door every month because one woman decided literacy was worth fighting for.

Dolly Parton has shown the world what’s possible when every child has books of their own, inspired by her father’s experience with illiteracy, she built a legacy that now brings stories, songs, and smiles to millions.

As International Literacy Day arrives September 8th, let’s honour Dolly’s incredible contribution to literacy worldwide. 📚

Give the gift of a book and help a child begin their reading journey. 💛 Celebrate Dolly. Celebrate literacy. Celebrate hope.

When we put books in the hand of a child, we give them more than something to read, we give them a doorway to learning and opportunity.

Literacy isn’t just about reading , it’s about opportunity. Yet millions of children have never held a book of their own, and without access to books, building literacy skills becomes nearly impossible.

Meet Precious. She is 12 years old, a fast learner and one of the brightest students in her class.

But Precious grew up in a community where books and other literacy resources are difficult to access. So, like many children around her, she finds ways to learn with whatever is available.

The problem is that a child’s ability to learn should not be limited by their access to books.

Precious is still learning words and building reading skills that many children are introduced to years earlier. Not because she lacks the ability to learn, but because she has not had the resources to learn at the pace she is capable of.

Precious’s story is not about what she cannot do. It is about what she could do if she had the opportunity.

This International Literacy Day, we’re on a mission to reach 500,000 children with books.

$10 can help put one book into a child’s hands.

Help us make books more accessible, one child at a time.
