As part of the IBBY community, you believe in the power of stories to change lives. Yet nearly 9 out of 10 children in sub-Saharan Africa can’t read a simple text by age 10.

Your donation will help fill classrooms with engaging, locally developed books and support teachers to inspire young readers. For children in countries like Sierra Leone, literacy means breaking the cycle of poverty for generations to come.

Please give generously and help write the next chapter of a child’s future.
