Literacy is at the heart of basic education for all and essential for poverty eradication, gender equality, maternal health, child mortality reduction

A very useful and easy to understand infographic. This article tells us many ways illiteracy affects many things that is needed in a healthy society. About 16% of the world's population is illiterate, which is a staggering 775 million people. Being literate is important as it helps one to know himself/herself and "fully exercise their rights". It is a human right to be educated and I think we should help those who aren't literate. Majority of people in poverty lives in places with the lowest litaracy rates in the world. It shows that there is a direct link between poverty and education.

When we think of poverty, we think of the children in Africa who cannot afford education or food. The poor are unable to afford education and are therefore illiterate. The people in Africa struggle to live everyday, with minimum food available and no money to afford more food. Perhaps the reason why they have no money is because they have no education, and therefore are unable to work. Without education, they are unable to count, read, or write. There isn't much that they can do without the knowledge of the world, and their government isn't doing them much help either. What is it that we can do? We can educate the people in Africa for free, therefore enabling them to be able to know simple Mathematics and English, and enabling them to start a life of their own. With education, they will be able to work and make money, and step out of poverty. We can help to donate our old books to them, and put up posters about how we can help the less fortunate. Salvation Army is one way we can help them, by donating the things that we no longer need to people that need it more than we do. As concerned citizens of the world, we should do all that we can to help those that are not as fortunate as us. What can we do on a daily basis? We can help to save water and not take the things given to us for granted.
