Script: Social Impact - Community & Future
Literacy isn’t just an individual skill; it’s the bedrock of thriving communities.

Script: Social Impact - Equity & Inclusion

Help us dismantle barriers and build a more equitable world, one learner at a time. Sponsor a resource and champion inclusion.
Script: Economic Benefits - Individual Prosperity
Investing in literacy is investing in economic potential. Millions of adults globally, including many in major language groups like Spanish and Arabic, as well as indigenous communities, lack the functional literacy and numeracy skills needed for better-paying jobs and economic stability. This skills gap, often below a crucial ‘year 15’ benchmark, limits individual earning potential and hinders economic mobility. Our digital ‘speak along’ resources offer a targeted solution. Delivered via engaging HD videos and a tracking app, they help learners master essential vocabulary and idioms, boosting practical skills for the workplace.

Consider the economic cost of low literacy – reduced productivity, increased healthcare expenses, and higher social support needs. Addressing this challenge offers significant returns, but traditional methods can be costly. Our digital literacy solution provides a highly cost-effective alternative.
