📚 The power of being able to read.
Today marks the 60th anniversary of International Literacy Day — a reminder that literacy is not simply the ability to read and write. It is a fundamental human right and a gateway to learning, opportunity and a more independent future.
And yet, millions of people around the world still lack basic literacy skills, while many children are growing up without reaching minimum proficiency in reading.
At Bookfeeding, we believe access to books matters.
A library can be a place where a child discovers a new story, learns something for the first time, develops confidence and begins to imagine possibilities beyond what they already know.
Together with local communities, volunteers, partners and supporters, we are helping create spaces where reading and learning can grow.
Because every book can open a door.
And every child deserves the chance to walk through it. 💚📖
Happy International Literacy Day!
