Our Vision

Our vision is to enhance human potential by increasing literacy throughout the world.

Literacy stands as a beacon of hope among the world's pressing challenges, including peace, hunger, and disease. It plays a pivotal role in uplifting communities, with a clear link to improved economic stability, healthier lives, and reduced crime rates across societies worldwide. Embracing and promoting literacy offers a transformative path forward, promising a brighter future for all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to establish and deploy effective and scalable models of literacy and learning by leveraging the power of digital technology.

The traditional schooling system cannot realistically solve the global educational crisis...we believe that our revolutionary solution, when scaled, can solve our problem, today.

Millions of children in developing countries are out of school, and without a paradigm shift, this number will continue to grow.

Our Story

We founded Teach the World in 2016, starting with a proof of concept validated by Nielsen the same year. Since then, we've consistently delivered scalable and efficient literacy programs in some of the most resource-constrained areas of the world. With the success of both our InSchool and MicroSchool programs, our solution has shown remarkable adaptability in meeting the unique needs and challenges of various environments, and in times of crisis, we’ve swiftly innovated, launching an At-Home learning program to tackle the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
