Our Commitment

With the new year approaching, we at united4literacy have placed creating a chain of global child literacy at the top of our new years resolutions. Through offering and collecting new and creative ideas of how to take action against this huge problem we would like to pursue our common goal of creating a world where every child has a means showing their talent and intelligence.

Take Action - The Next Step

Hello Viewers,

We are in the process of establishing a chain and partnership with a trust in India. Now, the viewers and supporters of our organization will be able to help out by donating to a credited NGO in India which will ensure that the donations reach the right hands and indeed help out the children in need. Remember, donations do not need to be monetary, items such as school supplies, clothing, shoes, school bags, water bottles can all help a child with talent get the education he/she deserves. It can open many doors in the life of a child in poverty.

Literacy: Why, What, Where, How

Literacy: Why, What, Where, How

A person aged seven and above, who can both read and write with any understanding in any language, is treated as literate. 

Our focus today is India. As per 2001 Census of India, the overall literacy rate of India was 65.38%. The difference between the highest and the lowest literacy rate in India was very high. Kerala has the highest literacy rate which is 90.92 %, while Bihar has the lowest with 47.53 %. Bihar’s literacy rate in 2011 was 63.8%. That is a rapid and large improvement in 10 years. In Kerala the literacy still remains the highest with 93.9% literacy among the population.

If children could be sent to school more in these states of India, the literacy rates would increase in the next few years and more children could be prevented from falling the viscous cycle of poverty or child labour. Most children cannot afford to go to basic primary school because of the small number government schools, high school supply costs, and privatization of education. Education has become a business in some areas of the world. Books are not provided nor are any other basic supplies. If we could provide these basic supplies for children within our own communities or in areas of low literacy, we could give those children a chance to learn and live free in pursuit of their dreams. If you have contributed already or would like to do so please let us know.
