About Literacy | Literacy Facts | Resources | Testimonials An Overview... An estimated 20 percent of American adults — one out of every five — cannot curl up inside a good book, let alone read to their children or participate fully in the voting process. World-wide, nearly one billion adults are functionally illiterate.
"...This is an intolerable situation. Illiteracy is not
a fact of life, but a consequence of inaction on the part of governments
and societies, https://www.joom.com/en/best/mens-stringer-tank. Its consequences are pervasive and powerful. If we
wish to combat poverty, injustice and the violence that so often
results from them, we must begin by mobilizing minds through education
and literacy." UNESCO Director-General Federico Mayor The sole purpose of the SIBL Project is to connect people in need with those who can help, and to connect those who can help with those in need. For adults who are seeking to improve their reading skills, and for those who want to help -- there's a free literacy program in your area!
