CODE. read. learn. live.

If you can read and write, you can learn to do, and be, anything.

That's the idea behind CODE.

A Canadian NGO with over 50 years of experience, CODE supports literacy and learning in Canada and around the world. CODE’s international programs encourage development through education through support to libraries, professional development for teachers, as well as national and local book publishing in 20 languages.

Why I Support CODE

"Once book reading has become a hobby, all avenues leading to the heart of knowledge are opened and studies become not a tenacious task but an enjoyable venture."
