In celebration of International Literacy Day, we're highlighting some of the many ways that we are being used to support literacy around the world.
Literacy is essential for proper social and individual human development. Basic literacy skills equip individuals to transform their lives by improving their overall standard of living, and in turn improve the standard of living for whole communities.

From how-to videos on basic reading and writing skills to storytime readings of favorite books, YouTube is a powerful tool for helping people learn to read and write.
In celebration of International Literacy Day, we're highlighting some of the many ways that YouTube is being used to support literacy around the world. From how-to videos on basic reading and writing skills to storytime readings of favorite books, YouTube is a powerful tool for helping people learn to read and write. Literacy is a fundamental skill that helps people lead successful lives and participate fully in society. Yet, around the world, there are still 775 million adults who lack basic literacy skills. That's why International Literacy Day is so important. It's a day to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the progress that's been made in increasing literacy rates around the world. YouTube has been working to support literacy initiatives around the world. Here are a few examples: In India, we've partnered with Pratham Books to launch Storyweaver, a platform where anyone can create, translate, and share storybooks in Indian languages. In Nigeria, we've partnered with the Room to Read organization on a literacy campaign called #ReadWithMe
Why is International Literacy Day observed? International Literacy Day is observed across the world to remind people about the importance of literacy for the betterment of communities, societies, and individuals, and also to highlight the positive effects of a higher literacy rate.
Happy International Literacy Day! Here's a look at the state of global literacy and why it's so important.
