Harry Moon supports the World Literacy Foundation

The World Literacy Foundation is delighted to be working in partnership with Harry Moon!

We provide free access to quality educational materials and innovative solutions that target wide-scale illiteracy. Since 2013 we have provided support in remote communities and disadvantaged areas in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, South America, and Africa.

“Literacy is not a privilege; it is a necessity. Learning to read and write is a fundamental skill required to lift children out of poverty,” Andrew Kay, WLF CEO .

The COVID pandemic has compounded the illiteracy crisis. With schools being closed and millions of adults remaining illiterate, children’s education has ground to a halt on many fronts. There are over 750 million illiterate people who cannot read a single word and more than 2 billion who struggle to read and write a sentence! 

The World Literacy Foundation believes that literacy is the key to unlocking better opportunities in life and all children deserve the opportunity to acquire literacy skills.  Our aim is to create the joy of reading for all children and to end literacy inequality.
