AWARDS: World Bank, Harvard, MIT, UNESCO, AKU THE PROBLEM
Over one sixth of the world is functionally illiterate, placing them at high risk of poverty, exploitation, and poor health, which can
have devastating effects on societies. THE CHALLENGE
While there is deep understanding of the negative impact of illiteracy and great interest in reducing it, traditional means do not offer solutions in the short-term. THE OPPORTUNITY
Now, more than ever, many great forces exist in the world, which, when combined, can increase literacy dramatically if harnessed and mobilized effectively. OUR PLAN
Our initial focus will be on providing primary-level education for children in areas lacking access to schools and teachers, through the use of digital technology.
