To enable people to learn by developing partnerships that provide resources for learning, promote awareness and understanding, and encourage self-reliance.

We work with local organizations in developing countries to empower children to learn. In so doing, we deliver an essential, sustainable development solution that endures. Our programs support libraries and teacher training as well as national and local book publishing in about 20 languages in Africa and the Caribbean. Over the years, CODE and its partners have developed more than 1000 unique titles, mainly for children, written, illustrated and published in 45 developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. More than 60 languages and dialects are represented in CODE's book collection, including numerous scripts and two titles coded in Braille. Today, on the cusp of its 50th anniversary, CODE continues to bring real lasting results to the developing world. CODE and its partners have been recognized three times with UNESCO International Literacy Awards for their education efforts.
