Visit our libraryThe Worldreader Lifelong Reading program seeks to support the development of reading habits among youth and adults, while increasing their knowledge and competencies.
Education and learning, far from being limited to a period of attendance at school, should extend throughout life.
The Lifelong Reading program leverages our Worldreader app, data analytics, and partnerships with publishers and mobile phone providers to empower youth and adults to access books on their mobile devices.
In 2018, Worldreader launched avanzaLee (move forward, read in Spanish) — a pilot project aimed at developing a grassroots implementation model that will foster a reading culture in Latin America, with a focus on Mexico.
In 2016, Worldreader launched Anasoma (She/He reads in Kiswahili), a pilot that aims to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment, while increasing female participation in mobile reading.
