This World Literacy Day, September 8th, CODE is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Foglio, a Toronto-based book design and self-publishing company with a passion for bringing stories to life.

Our goal was to encourage literacy among children by providing books written by local authors and assisting in training teachers. Additionally, we aimed to support young women by offering scholarships to help them become teachers.

You may remember two special faces from two of our recent appeals. At the time, we were raising money to help fund critical projects like those bringing change to Patricia and Sallay’s schools.

Welcome to a visual journey through the classrooms and reading corners of Tanzania, where your generosity has helped bring beautiful new books.

I recently had the opportunity to visit several schools in Ifakara, Tanzania, as part of our ongoing education program and I came away deeply inspired.

Congratulations to the 10 grantees selected for Round 2 of the Teaching and Learning in Fragile Contexts (TLFC) Research Initiative!

At CODE, we believe that literacy is more than just reading and writing—it is a gateway to equity, opportunity, and empowerment. It is the foundation for a more just, inclusive, and prosperous world. That’s why we are proud to launch CODE’s 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, a bold and focused roadmap for the years ahead.

The Teaching and Learning in Fragile Contexts Project is working to improve this and is working with teacher training institutes (TTIs) by placing student teachers from the TTIs into schools for practical experience.

In a groundbreaking literacy initiative, the Children's Book Organization for Tanzania (CBO) has partnered with CODE to bring culturally rich stories into the hands of young Tanzanian readers.

CODE is pleased to share that we have been invited by 60 million girls Foundation to present with them at the CIES Annual Conference, our findings on using mobile learning labs in Liberia.
