We Are Solving Both Problems

We hire women from the local communities, train them, and deploy them as reading coaches in schools and preschools.

  • Women get their first job, receiving training, and are on the economic ladder.
  • Families are now receiving incomes.
  • Children are taught to read and write, thus unlocking their ability to learn in all other subjects.
  • Children hear 1,000 stories before age 7, supercharging their vocabulary, imagination, and memory.
  • Children's confidence soars.
