Worldwide
ProLiteracy Worldwide provides a network
that helps adults and their families gain the literacy skills necessary
to effectively live and work in society. In the U.S., an estimated 40
million adults are functionally
illiterate, unable to fulfill simple tasks such as reading maps and completing
basic forms. But every day, over 130,000 volunteers are helping them
out of the darkness. Since 1995, donors have made possible the distribution
of $1.9 million worth of books and literacy materials to 927 family literacy
and English-as-a-second-language programs. Over 1,200 affiliates in all
50 states advocate for the needs of those who cannot read. This group
relies mostly on generous individuals, corporations, and community groups
