The rising cost of living standards and poverty is having a direct impact on children’s literacy. This is why Kenya is facing a literacy pandemic – and it is hitting children from the lowest income communities the hardest. A child’s background shouldn’t limit where they end up in life. Please help us expand our impact and reach more underserved children to ensure they have an equal chance at succeeding in life.
