CHANGING CHILDREN’S LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF LITERACY !
Education is a basic human right, and we believe that it is the key to breaking the poverty cycle by providing people with access to better opportunities.
Since 2014, we have been providing our literacy support and learning resources to children in disadvantaged communities that have limited or no access to education in Manizales, Colombia.
THE REALITY
TAKING BACK CONTROL DURING AN UNCERTAIN TIME ...
Millions of children are out of school due to the Coronavirus crisis, and are currently in isolation at home with family. At Aprende Leyendo, we believe that there’s no better way to enjoy this time together than reading, at home!
Reading can strengthen family relationships and it can also be a great way to keep kids learning during quarantine. We have shared some eBooks to read to your children at home to help them understand the pandemic we are facing all together.
