Can You Read This? A Billion People Can't!Literacy is a luxury that many of us take for granted. Look around, words are everywhere. We depend on written communication for information, guidance, well-being, and security. Yet a billion people can't read, which means they have no access to heath care information, education, loans, insurance, job training, and so much more that is necessary to live a productive and sustainable life.A Book That SpeaksThis is why we created SPEAKING BOOKS and revolutionized the way information is delivered to low literacy communities. It's exactly what it sounds like…a book that actually talks to the reader in his or her native language, delivering critical information in an interactive, relevant and education way. The customizable 16-page book, accompanied by local celebrity audio recordings, ensures that vital health and social messages can be seen, heard, read and understood, arming the world's poorest and most impoverished communities with critical, life-saving knowledge that can help them to live a better life.
