Our Impact
Thanks to the support of our partners, sponsors, and donors like you, LitWorld has been able to transform hundreds of thousands of lives around the world.
OUR IMPACT ON THE CHILD
By creating programs that can be implemented inside or outside a school day and are not dependent on the structure of school itself to run and to be active, we are leveraging all the minutes of the day that a child has to learn and grow. LitWorld’s research-based best practices ensure that every child is seen, heard, and valued as they embark on the critical journey of literacy learning and storytelling. Through LitWorld, children grow their confidence, social-emotional well-being, and academic skills. This multi-faceted skill-building enboldens children to shape their lives, their communities, and our world.
We’ve served more than 1,000,000 children in our LitWorld programs.
OUR IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY
LitWorld supports local, grassroots, and mostly women-led community-based organizations that are often overlooked by larger funders. LitWorld highlights and supports hardworking people in their own communities who know better than anyone what their community needs. Through shared on-the-ground work, we have not only impacted individual children but also helped women become leaders in their homes and communities. LitWorld’s community-informed best practices offer ripple effects from home to school to employment and back again.
We work in over 60 countries in rural, urban and suburban communities each year.
OUR IMPACT ON THE WORLD
By creating easily replicable, economically affordable, and genuinely joyful literacy models, we have spread good ideas in literacy around the world. Whether it's by training teachers and leaders on the ground or sharing children's own stories, we use our programs to greatly expand access to these good ideas. Because of our programs, generations begin reading to one another, sharing stories, and building a new world of engagement, communication, and compassion for their fellow human beings.
We’ve deployed world-changing strategies to over 90 million people via our campaigns and advocacy events.
