On #AfricaDay, we celebrate the strength, diversity, and leadership of communities across Africa. We’re proud to work alongside local educators and partners helping children and youth build brighter futures through literacy and learning.

Every classroom, every book, and every learner represents the power of education to create opportunity and lasting change.

In Liberia and Sierra Leone, teachers are earning their formal certifications — a milestone that will shape the future of countless students.

Investing in teachers means investing in a generation.

Thank you to @SenCoyle for highlighting the importance of Canada's engagement in Africa, including how we support literacy and education systems as part of long-term development.

As Canada considers its response to “Canada-Africa: Seizing a Strategic Opportunity” and works toward implementing its Africa Strategy, literacy must be part of the conversation.

This July, a team led by Chris Bredt and Jeff Kehoe will climb Mount Kilimanjaro to support children’s literacy.

Now in its 6th year, the Summit for Literacy aims to raise $100,000 to help transform classrooms, train teachers, and expand access to books. Past climbs have already helped thousands of children — and we’re just getting started.

This #InternationalWomensDay, meet Mtendere, a 13-year-old student in Malawi who dreams of becoming a teacher so she can help others learn to read and write.

Girls like Mtendere face barriers that have nothing to do with ability and everything to do with circumstance. When girls are given the chance to learn, they help shape stronger futures for their communities.

Next week, TLFC grant recipient @Prof_LGichuhi will speak at #HNPW2026 on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus and Education panel, exploring how to turn this framework into meaningful action.

In Ghana’s mining communities, many children face the difficult choice between school and unsafe work. Through our Reading Ghana Western Region program, CODE and partners are helping change that, reaching 12,500 students across 37 schools.

This year, 296 teachers strengthened their literacy instruction skills, classrooms were filled with culturally relevant books, and Grade 5 reading comprehension scores increased by 15% in project schools.

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, we’re reminded that language is more than communication; it carries culture, strengthens community, and preserves identity across generations.

This year’s theme reminds us that youth are not just learners but co-creators and designers of multilingual education — both in the classroom and at home. When mother languages are valued and supported, learning becomes more inclusive, engaging, and empowering.

During #IDW2026, our Board Member Brenda Okorogba shared a timely message: in today’s world, global development will be defined by effectiveness, not intentions.

Real impact requires accountability, partnership, and evidence-driven action.

As #IDW2026 comes to a close, we’re reminded why CODE’s work matters, and why it matters now. In a world where cooperation and shared norms are under strain, what we build today in classrooms and communities shapes the stability, opportunity, and security of tomorrow.

Canada has long been a leader in international education. Stepping back is not neutral, it leaves space for others to set priorities that don’t reflect our values. When we pair principle with pragmatism, education remains one of the strongest tools we have for shared progress. Thank you to all who make this work possible.

This #IDW2026, we’re celebrating the impact of our GALI program in Liberia, where 82% of girls were promoted mid-year, putting them on track to reach an age-appropriate grade in just one school year.

When girls are given the tools, support, and encouragement to catch up, they don’t just stay in school; they thrive.

During #IDW2026, we’re celebrating how education can advance the values Canada is known for, inclusion, equality, and dignity.

By working with local partners to strengthen access to learning, especially for girls, CODE is helping communities thrive and creating lasting impact rooted in shared values.
