Over 101 million school-age children around the world do not have the resources to attend school. Research shows that literacy levels correlate directly with health, safety, and life expectancy. Quality literacy education is the difference between life and death, health and sickness, prosperity and despair.

LitWorld's mission is to end illiteracy by spreading the power of story. Since December of 2007, we have already grown from working with small groups to training hundreds of teachers, working with hundreds of women, and reaching thousands of children. LitWorld engages students and families around the globe by providing opportunities for them to explore and learn from their own narratives and voices, and builds sustainable communities for literacy where local leaders will use their expertise to spread literacy and knowledge and break the cycle of illiteracy. Children's voices are so quiet, and their needs are so great. Literacy is the single most powerful force that can transform lives, transcend isolation and improve outcomes for the future for all our world's children.

Who We Are: LitWorld is an international nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2007. LitWorld is the sister organization to the acclaimed literacy organization, LitLife. Please visit the LitLife website at litlifeinfo.com for more information on the work LitLife has done in the United States to achieve transformative progress in literacy standards and outcomes.

What We Do: We develop and implement innovative programs and community initiatives for literacy achievement.

Where We Work: We work with communities in need of literacy support and with educators and caregivers who reach the most vulnerable children.

Every child has the right to tell stories, read stories, and write stories.
Words change worlds.
