Freedom to Read 2020
At StoryWeaver, we believe that every child deserves to have joyful reading material in her mother tongue. To make this a reality, we have been building all-digital libraries in hundreds of languages through the 'Freedom to Read' campaign - with your help. We are excited to announce the 4th edition of 'Freedom to Read', and once again, we invite you to partner with us, to help us build and share digital libraries in languages with few or no books.
