Summary 

Today in 2022, almost 20% of the world is illiterate. That’s over 1.5 billion people. And they’re illiterate because they don’t have the resources and opportunities to learn to read.

The 8020 Initiative aims to collect stories. Stories from people without access to any form of literacy but people who indeed have stories to tell. 

Stories about them, their families, their dreams, their songs, their jokes. Record the essence of where they are. Maybe even something of who they are, paint a picture of people and a community in time.
