September 8 was International Literacy Day!
Despite progress, at least 739 million youth and adults worldwide still lack basic literacy skills in 2024. At the same time, 4 in 10 children are not reaching minimum proficiency in reading, and 272 million children and adolescents were out of school in 2023 (UNESCO source).
So we want to specifically applaud the efforts of Arimah Bangura and Arimah’s Reading club, a local initiative designed to support and nurture children’s reading skills, build their learning capacity, and improve their overall knowledge and academic development.
We endorse all of your work and look forward to collaborating in the future. 🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳
