Save the Children Promotes Literacy at Home
The organization creates learning opportunities for children from pre-birth to age 8, particularly in homes with limited resources. Through home-visit programs, Save the Children works with parents to raise awareness of educational needs and strengthen parent-child bonds. Often times the first step is bringing books into the home.
