FreeSchools World Literacy is a registered Canadian charity that works to end illiteracy among the world's poorest. We believe illiteracy and ignorance go hand in hand and are the root causes of extreme poverty. This leads to violence, discrimination, human trafficking, and ultimately human suffering. We seek to end this by providing a low-cost, non-formal education to those who need it most. We have 79 schools in operation in parts of India and Thailand, and have improved the lives of over 3,000 people. Through our field partners we secure a donated and safe environment - helping to keep our costs very low - and hire a local teacher who truly understands their community. Our program is secular and does not impose any Western value: instead we encourage each school to evolve on its own. Help us break the cycle of extreme poverty and violence against these most vulnerable of people by donating today.
