Carmen Marcela's fundraiser for World Literacy Foundation

Carmen Marcela Toader is raising money for World Literacy Foundation

Youth Ambassador Program 2026 · 26 July 2026 to 31 August 2026 ·

Learning to read and write is fundamental for any individual to succeed at school and beyond. But there are 770 million people globally who are illiterate and 2 billion who struggle to read a sentence. We work across the world delivering literacy programmes and to break the cycle of poverty.

Story

Education can transform people's lives, create opportunities, and help to build stronger communities. In my capacity as a Youth Ambassador with the World Literacy Foundation, I am raising money to assist Irene, a 15-year-old student from Uganda who dreams of becoming a journalist and of making a positive impact in her community.

Even though she is facing financial difficulties, Irene is still determined to go on with her education. She thinks that learning is the basis on which one should achieve their aims and build a better future.

My fundraising goal is $350, which will help cover Irene's essential school fees, learning materials, and the support she needs to stay in school.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings Irene one step closer to achieving her dream. If you're unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your family, friends, or colleagues is another meaningful way to help.

Thank you for supporting literacy, education, and equal opportunities for every child. Together, we can help Irene continue her education and inspire lasting change.
