"Imagine looking for just one children's book in an entire village and not coming up with any. That is a reality, we have experienced frequently in rural India. But since 600 million Indians already watch TV, can the reading experience be disseminated on media that are already in people's lives? It's a question we ask ourselves at BookBox to inspire solutions. We are proud to share our creations on The Literacy Project and learn from other organizations that have taken on the challenge of promoting a reading planet," commented Brij Kothari, Co-Founder, BookBox.

"The worlds of technology, literature and learning have a responsibility to play whatever part they can in helping to alleviate the problem of illiteracy. We're very excited to be involved in this project and help provide a platform through which literacy and reading promotion organizations can connect and share best practices and tools," said Santiago de la Mora, European Partnerships Lead, Books.

About The Literacy Project:

As a problem that touches all countries and populations, there’s a pressing need to share ideas, successful projects, information, and statistics about literacy—as well as find new ways to collaborate. The organizations behind The Literacy Project believe that the Internet can be a powerful tool in connecting the organizations leading this fight. The more people that have access to reading tools, project ideas, and resources, the further we will go in combating this problem.

From e-learning tools and book clubs, to classic children’s books and scholarly articles—users can find books, videos, articles, blogs, and groups about literacy, as well as share all of their own ideas and projects.
