Every time you buy a La-La and Friends product, you ship a workbook to a disadvantaged child who will otherwise not have access to educational workbooks. You are impacting lives.

A famous Nelson Mandela quote says, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Today we can verify it. Education allows us to better understand the world in which we live. I believe through education, we have become thoughtful about what happens around us. We observe things from multiple perspectives and not only from the one they tell us. Education interconnects and equates us as a species, one book at a time.  

Education is the key to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace.

Empowering literacy became a big passion for me when I met a 32-year-old lady who had completed primary and secondary school education but could not read and write. She had come to live with my family to offer help and support. My parents took it upon themselves to help her learn to read and sponsored her through literacy lessons.

This is a massive problem because education is a vital tool for alleviating poverty. Those who can read and write stand a better chance of winning the fight against poverty. With books, they can imagine beyond their immediate surrounding and dream big into action. On the other hand, illiteracy multiplies poverty and therefore is a problem that requires urgent focus.

While we can donate money, a book though little is a mighty sword in the hands of a small child.
