In sub-Saharan Africa today there are 153 million people unable to read or write. This means they are unable to read a medicine bottle, text book, instruction manual or ballot paper; they are effectively excluded from taking control of their lives and their futures.

We have received two donations, amounting to the best part of £1,000, in a very short time. It is a great service you offer, easy for the charity and for the donor. Everyone wins.
