Share Basic Literacy

Please Help

781 million people are illiterate today (Wikipedia) (map)

Of over 7000 languages spoken today over 3000 are unwritten (Ethnologue). Must we ignore these precious humans?

Share literacy for good reasons!

This page shows a recent innovation: sound charts labelled with mechanical drawings.

This may have enabled delivery of basic literacy to illiterate speakers of even unwritten languages for pennies.
