Three billion people in the world face literacy challenges every day. Some 800,000,000 adults and 200,000,000 children cannot READ this, and girls and women represent two-thirds of those who are unable to read or write! Children Reading for Children International want to do something about that!
Children Reading for Children International (CRCI) is a non-profit grant funding foundation dedicated to advancing literacy and education as a fundamental children’s right. The organization focuses on helping parents, teachers, schools, and libraries build literacy and numeracy skills for children.
CRCI believes literacy is an essential life-skill fundamental to education and any future economic opportunity. Their child-centered read-a-thons are designed to educate children about the importance of children’s right to literacy and education worldwide. They inspire children to read, raise awareness reading and raise funds for children’s literacy globally.
CRCI’s Global Ambassadors for Literacy & Education champion a charitable campaign reflective of three distinct, but interrelated learning lessons for children. The first aim is to teach eco-literacy by educating children about nature, wildlife, endangered species, conservation, sustainability and overall respect for the environment.
