Celebrating 50 Years of Development through Education
If you can read and write, you can learn to do, and be, anything. That’s the idea behind CODE.
We work with local organizations in developing countries to empower children to learn. In so doing, we deliver an essential, sustainable development solution that endures. Our programs support libraries and teacher training as well as national and local book publishing in about 20 languages in Africa and the Caribbean.
