What is TinyIVY:

We imagine a bright future where virtually all children can read at grade-level

Our vision is utopian. Never before in mankind’s history has there been a country where virtually everyone could read. You can draw a direct line from learning to read to immeasurable benefits for society. McKinsey found a way to put a dollar figure against this gain: $500B a year; but of course the true measure is not financial. 

We believe that the best ideas come from a diverse and well-educated populace. If everyone could read, we would have a more educated conversation, across the globe, of how to govern, what and whom to protect, how to stimulate growth, where to research, how to lower crime, and improve healthcare. How to do more with less.
