“We’re the non-profit on a mission to eradicate illiteracy by delivering a library of e-books to people in low income countries. Here’s how we do it: We start early using e-readers in primary schools where if kids fall behind, they almost never catch up. Kids begin reading thousands of local stories together with great international books that we’ve curated into the largest most culturally relevant libraries of books.
Our method is the most effective and inexpensive way to eradicate illiteracy globally. As of recently, Worldreader has wirelessly distributed more than 944,300 African and international e-books to children in 9 sub-Saharan African countries. And the results are staggering: in less than 5 months children show significant improvements in fluency and comprehension and the gender gap closes.”

“At 10,000 Degrees we tackle the challenge of education and social justice in many ways. For children in elementary and middle schools, our College4Kids program plants the seed of higher education by touring a college campus — for some this is their first such visit. Our core program for high school students, the 10,000 Degrees Institute, and our Undergraduate Scholarships, provide the preparation and resources for low-income students to get to and through college.”

“1. You purchase a handmade LOOTB bracelet by our artisans in either Nicaragua or Guatemala from our online store http://www.lootb.com. Each bracelet is one-of-a-kind because it has a unique number stamped on the LOOTB leather tag. 2. This bracelet gives a child in need school supplies. 3. You actually get to see & learn about the child that you gave school supplies to through your purchase by either looking up your number on our LOOTB Gives site or through the personal email we send you after you make your order. 4. The more bracelets you buy, the more children you give school supplies to.

We are both very connected to education and believe that it’s the best place to start in helping developing countries. It’s the root of where change can start–where kids can learn and develop their own skills to improve their country’s economy, help their families and go on to teach the next generation. Our goal is to give kids the tools they need to educate themselves, live their own Life Out of the Box and pursue their biggest dreams. So far we’ve given to thousands of children throughout Central America.”
