Mental Health, Suicide & Healthcare Audiobooks
785 million people in the world cannot read
That’s 1 in 5 people worldwide, with two-thirds being women. Literacy is a luxury that many of us take for granted. Look around you, words are everywhere. We depend on written communication for information, guidance, well-being, and security. Yet nearly a billion around the world people can’t read, and are denied access to some of life’s most essential necessities like heath care, education, job training. In fact, poverty and disease correlate directly with low literacy, and life expectancy is lowest where people cannot read. Sadly, the cycle perpetuates, as parents are unable to teach their children to read, more and more kids grow up without the ability to read.
But access to critical information means better health, education, and income – especially for women and children.

Bridge the Communication Gap
Global illiteracy prevents many organizations from effectively educating and informing communities about critical health and wellness issues. It’s time to rethink pamphlets and brochures and distribute knowledge to all people, in a way that is relevant for them, literate or not. Speaking Books are designed to communicate important information in a format that is easy to understand and process.

Empower Communities
Illiteracy impacts some of the most critical parts of life such as understanding medical instruction, applying for a loan, signing a contract, or getting basic job training. These life-altering situations are often the path to a better life, and by enabling people to actually understand instructions and information, we can empower them to take control of their lives and end the cycle of poverty and illness.
