Mission.
Providing resources and opportunities for literacy and career development for economically disadvantaged students.
Philosophy.
At The Literacy Ladder, we believe that:
-
The world's problems are not meant to be solved by a few nations or groups of people
-
A group of people or nation's problems are not meant to be solely solved by others
In developing societies, the lack of literacy, additional education, and opportunities for advancement are some of the critical issues that lie behind strife and economic disadvantage.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
