According to UNESCO, over 739 million adults and young people worldwide still lack basic literacy skills. But behind every statistic is a story — and at Edify, that story is one of hope, progress, and transformation. Literacy is not just about skill-building; it’s also about opening the pages of Scripture. We believe every child should have the opportunity to encounter the Word of God for themselves, to read it with understanding, and to be transformed by it.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple but bold: to improve and expand sustainable Christ-centered education globally. How does this relate to literacy? Reading is a cornerstone of education. When young learners become proficient readers who effectively understand and communicate, they are equipped to engage deeply with God’s Word. At Edify, we believe literacy is more than reading words; it’s the key to flourishing with confidence.
The Transformation
One powerful tool in this process is the One Test app — a simple, scalable way for students to test their reading and comprehension levels, all with the power of education technology. The tool, part of Edify’s innovative literacy project, now helps teachers across Latin America and Africa accurately assess reading levels and gather the data they need to support each student. With just a few taps, teachers can see where a child is, celebrate progress, and identify where extra support is needed. As we empower each student to grow, we’re unlocking the superpower of literacy: opening doors to brighter futures, one reader, one story, and one transformed life at a time.
