Congratulations! You are lucky because you are able to read and have opened our web pages. Everyone is not as lucky as there are about 750 million adults and over 600 million school-age children in the world who cannot read.
For many children in the world, going to school is just a distant dream. Education is the key that can lead them from a life of poverty to hope and a future. Could you be the one to give that key to a child who is less fortunate?
