The World Literacy Foundation significantly dedicates their time and resources to conducting research, and uses resulting information to help advocate in local communities as well as on a global scale. They mobilise communities through their passionate volunteers, and seek to give individuals a voice so that they can also act as advocates for literacy within their own communities. They believe that raising community awareness is vital to the improvement of literacy standards.

As they move towards the future, the World Literacy Foundation is blending their approach of traditional learning methods with digital tools. They believe that multi-modal learning will be a valuable solution to decreasing the world’s illiteracy rates.

The World Literacy Foundation aims to continue to advocate for better global literacy standards, and is excited to establish new, innovative programs in this next phase of the organisation.
