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.  

This year, CODE hopes to launch an exciting new project in Malawi that focuses on creating effective and joyful literacy learning environments in rural classrooms.

hen you hear the word “Will,” what comes to mind? For many, it conjures up thoughts of legal language, dividing assets, and pondering the uncertainties of the future. But today, Wills are about so much more than that.

When it comes to how well a child learns to read and write, nothing is more important than the quality of teaching.

Our hearts are full of gratitude as we reflect on the past year at CODE. The work we do to champion every child’s right to read would simply not be possible without supporters and partners like you!
