@GlobalGiving Q8: Be flexible, adapt to changing needs, be driven by those you serve and what they see as their needs. Education is the key to transforming lives of women and the pathway to peace. #LiteracyGoesGlobal @AIL_ngo

@GlobalGiving A8. Let us make sure literacy work is culturally relevant and inclusive of the people who are being served! #LiteracyGoesGlobal #Afkidlit #kidlit #Africa #LiteracyDay

@GlobalGiving A7.Vivian Amanor is a librarian in rural Ghana who read books to children & never thought her own ideas were valid enough to be published. She sent a story to our #GoldenBoababPrize & inspired her to write more. Vivian now has many books published to her name #LiteracyGoesGlobal

@GlobalGiving A6. We turned a room into a library in a children’s cancer ward in a major hospital. Great idea but didn’t work. Unfortunately, we received little institutional support for the project and in keeping up the library. #LiteracyGoesGlobal #Afkidlit #kidlit #Africa #LiteracyDay

@KenyaConnect @GlobalGiving We hear you @KenyaConnect! It's a situation that needs urgent attention. Digital platforms provide opportunities for educational equity. It's an opportunity that children should be afforded no matter where in the world they live. #LiteracyGoesGlobal #Africa #LiteracyDay #kidlit
