Before one can read to learn, one must learn to read. Support a child to acquire the most important skill of literacy.
We are not giving up on getting some of Nigeria's most vulnerable children ready for the future. You should not too
When children have the tools to learn, there’s no limit to their promise. And once a child learns to read, he or she will be forever free to dream.
Every person – child, youth and adult – deserves to be equipped with the essential life skills to be able to survive, to live and work in dignity, and to continue learning.

The Problem
In Nigeria, millions of primary school-aged children lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills to enrol, complete and/or transition to secondary education. According to the Nigeria Education Data Survey (NEDS), one of the most comprehensive literacy studies conducted in Nigeria, more than 50% of children in Primary 1 to Primary 3 could not read a word and 60% of grade 3 children could not complete a single-digit addition problem. Without access to the knowledge, tools and support to acquire basic literacy and numeracy competencies, current and upcoming generations of Nigerian children will be denied the opportunity to develop critical skills for lifelong learning, empowerment and sustainable livelihoods.
