Dear Friend,
We know you are passionate about literacy as you have supported us in the past. With the support of people like you, PlanetRead continues to bring literacy to millions of people in India through Same Language Subtitling (SLS).
BookBox, PlanetRead's partner has been using SLS on animated stories to improve reading skills and language learning. With animated stories in over 35 languages, our YouTube channel has more than 23 million channel views and 100K+ subscribers. BookBox has made all its content available free on YouTube to promote a love for reading.
We have just launched a campaign to “Help Bring Literacy To Every Child In Africa”. Our goal is to make 10 animated stories in English and Swahili and participate in the X Prize.
We need your help. Our goal is to showcase our solution through 10 new open-sourced AniBooks that have so much more for our children. More games, more interactivity, writing practice and math skills, plus loads more fun in the same loved BookBox story format!!
We need to create 5 AniBooks in English and 5 in Swahili - the official language of the Global Learning XPrize competition. Each one will cost $2000, so we need your help to raise $20,000.
Every contribution no matter how small, can help. Each time you forward or share this message, you can help us move one step closer to bringing literacy to millions of children in Africa.
How you can help: Donate as much as you're willing to give here. That's not all! There are different donation levels in which you can receive special gifts on our campaign page.
We, and all the children around the world who rely on AniBooks for literacy would be so grateful if you could contribute to help us make more of a difference.
Small actions = knock-on impact = BIG RESULTS.
