Be a part of MYReaders
MYReaders aims to help the many illiterate students in Malaysia and around the region learn to read using a structured, research-based programme. We work to empower teachers, parents and on-the-ground movers through providing training, toolkits and support to build sustainable literacy programs in their communities. Since 2015, we have impacted over 31,647 students, 92 parents, 777 teachers and 780 volunteers in Malaysia.
We believe that everyone should have equal opportunities to develop agency, and that literacy is key in this process.
