Mission
Our mission is simple: We exist to help organizations reach communities that previously seemed unreachable, by delivering critical messages that empower, educate and save lives.
Bridging the Communication Gap
Global illiteracy prevents organizations from effectively communicating life-saving messages to impoverished communities around the world. Traditional tools such as pamphlets and brochures are useless when they cannot be read and lack of staff and capacity makes reaching and communicating directly with rural communities tremendously difficult. At a time when the world's poorest communities cannot access even the most basic education, innovation is the key to bridging the communication gap.
SPEAKING BOOKS has successfully created an effective means of presenting health care and development issues by adapting to the culture, skills and needs of communities. Through our innovative approach, critical information is delivered in a relevant, interactive, educational way, arming communities with knowledge that can save and improve their lives.
We focus on three key areas of education:
Health Education & Disease Prevention for the Illiterate
Social Development for the Illiterate
Teaching Children to Read
