Covid-19 has led to
school disruptions
worldwide.
Keep Children Reading is a distance-learning initiative to support vulnerable children during the Covid-19 education crisis and beyond.
For vulnerable students across the world, the threat of Covid-19, an education system in crisis, and a lack of traditional resources like libraries and community centers, have made the need for a digital reading solution more urgent than ever. Worldreader’s Keep Children Reading program gives parents and caregivers access to a library from their mobile phones so they can support their children’s learning while school disruptions persist.
