How You Can Help In Mere Seconds — Every Day

The Literacy Site provides a feel-good way to help promote awareness of the importance of literacy — through easy and quick online activities.

With a simple, daily click of the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button at The Literacy Site, visitors help provide free books to children in need. Visitors pay nothing. The distribution of these books are paid for by our site sponsors and accomplished through our charitable partners, First Book and Room to Read.

Please remember to click every day to help children in need get free books in the home, and to give hope to future generations. Every click counts in the fight for literacy.

Worldwide, there are more than 770 million illiterate adults, two-thirds of whom are women and girls. In addition, there are over 100 million children not currently enrolled in primary school and millions of others not currently enrolled in secondary school. Education is a lifelong gift that empowers people to ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries, and future generations. Through the opportunities that only an education can provide, we can break the cycle of poverty, one child at a time. Together, The Literacy Site and its international partner, Room to Read, provide books to children in some of the poorest regions of the world, including Tibet, India, Vietnam, and Laos.
