BE A BETTER YOU

WHAT IS PROJECT LITERACY?

Project Literacy is a non-profit, community based organization dedicated to improving literacy rates among adults in Danville, Virginia. We firmly believe that literacy is the foundation of education, opportunity, and social and civic participation.

Literacy is the ability to read, write, speak, and listen in a way that lets us makes sense of the world.¹

DID YOU KNOW?

​Did you know that nearly 20% of your fellow Danvillians struggle to read and write? That’s nearly one in every five citizens of the city. You may believe that you don’t know anyone who struggles with literacy; and yet, with nearly one in five people affected, you probably do. People who struggle to read and write often hide the fact even from their closest loved ones.
