Today we celebrate how books can transform lives for girls and boys across the globe. A single story can spark imagination, fuel ambition, and build bridges to opportunity where none existed before. Happy #WorldBookDay! 📚

Our CEO, Janice Ciavaglia, was recently in Sierra Leone & saw firsthand the impact your support is making in the country's schools. She wanted to take a moment to pause & say thanks to the compassionate people who make this important work possible! thankyou.code.ngo/wSVELV2H

Congratulations to @markjcarney and Liberal Party on your success in the 2025 federal election. We look forward to working with you to ensure that Canada’s role in the world reflects our shared commitment to equity, compassion, and lasting opportunity for all.

It's a good day when you get to welcome an exceptional new member to the team!

Your impact in action! Thanks to your kind support, we just distributed another 900 books to classrooms in Tanzania. These aren't just any books - they're culturally-relevant, locally-authored children's books that reflect each community's unique voice. 📷 CODE/Emanuel Feruzi

From handmade flashcards to storybooks stitched from recycled paper, these educators are proving that passion can overcome any resource constraint. Read more: ow.ly/FhSW50W9cUA

Where education thrives, conflict fades. Classrooms aren’t just for learning — they’re spaces of safety, belonging, and possibility. At this year’s G7, Canada can say YES to peace by standing for every child’s right to 12 years of education. #YESfor12 #EducationForPeace

Congrats to CanadaHelps on 25 years of impact, connecting generous Canadians with some pretty amazing causes! youtu.be/nBuLTKmDtAc?si…

Our very own Program Manager, Malvern, is testing out a brand new reading anthology with his own kids here in Ottawa! This is one of 12 new anthologies of culturally relevant poems & stories that will soon land in the hands of eager students in Liberia & Sierra Leone. @canadadev

Thank you for bringing the joy of reading to kids in countries like Tanzania! 📷 Emanuel Feruzi 2025

"We show students and families a world beyond what they know, one filled with knowledge, possibility, and innovation." — Yvonne, WE-CARE Foundation With our partner in Liberia, we’re transforming literacy and learning for the future. 📸: Hassan Bangura

Confidence and belief are the keys to achieving remarkable results. With programs like GALI, we are not just closing learning gaps — we are paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.

For Magesa, a third grader at Kiningina Primary School in Tanzania, storybooks brought more than just improved reading skills – they transformed school itself. It became a place of joy, curiosity, and discovery. A place where children want to be every single day.

Literacy is more than the ability to read and write; it’s the key to opportunity and a better future. Yet millions of children lack the resources and education they need. On this #LiteracyDay, we ask you to take action, to support and stand for every child's right to learn.

To recognize #LiteracyDay, CODE is excited to announce a new partnership with Foglio. They've committed to donate 10% of every publishing package sold to our GALI Program in Liberia, which gives over-age girls a second chance at completing their education.

Our GALI-X project concluded the 24-25 academic year with a remarkable 98% promotion rate, with the majority of girls advancing two grades. GALI-X’s success will help these girls well into the future — and foster local resilience in their communities. 📸 Hassan Bangura

Amid rising global uncertainty and conflict, Canada has a chance to lead with #Budget2025 — by protecting international assistance, honouring its commitments, and proving that global engagement is not a luxury but a necessity. Darron Seller-Peritz iPolitics ipolitics.ca/2025/09/14/as-…
