The Problem
80%
Of children in Sub-Saharan Africa are not proficient in reading
Illiteracy leads to:
-
Limited Access To Education: Illiteracy restricts a child's potential to learn, reducing educational opportunities.
-
Fewer Job Opportunities: Illiteracy also hinders people's capacity to acquire new skills; resulting in fewer job prospects.
-
Poverty Across Generations: Reduced education and fewer job opportunities perpetuate intergenerational poverty.
