You are among the 40% of the world’s population who is able to read,
but over 60% of the world’s population does not read.

Who are they? They are completely illiterate, functionally illiterate, visually impaired or simply part of an oral culture where learning takes place without the written word. They live in remote villages without electricity and in urban squalor. They live under difficult conditions. They comprise well over half of our world's population. They need to hear.

How will they hear?

25% of the world's population are completely illiterate -- unable to write a simple sentence in any language.Another 35% are functionally illiterate -- having inadequate reading and writing skills for use in daily life. Another 3% are physically incapable of reading due to visual impairment.

The vast majority of the world's dialects have
no written form, let alone written Scriptures

There are over 12,000 dialects in the world. Nearly 3/4 of these have no written form. And even with the crucial work of Bible translators around the globe, less than 7% of the world's major languages have completed written Bibles.
