Education is essential for any social, economical, and environmental change. Accessible knowledge and education for all are vital for the better future of humanity.
International Literacy Day takes place on September 8 every year to raise awareness and concern for literacy problems that exist within our own local communities as well as globally. This week we celebrate education, and highlight non-profits advocating for a world where all have access to knowledge.
