The foundation also offers a comprehensive online resource library with multilingual materials for healthcare providers, educators, families, and caregivers, emphasizing interactive and inclusive literacy activities. Beyond program delivery, the foundation engages in research and policy work addressing systemic barriers to literacy, foundational skill development by age five, and the economic importance of early literacy, participating in government consultations, hosting roundtables, and publishing reports to influence national literacy policy and investment.
