Mission

We equip communities around the world with literacy tools to educate adults and transform families, villages and entire nations.

  • ReWrite Life partners with and equips organizations with literacy tools to educate and transform adults and villages in India, Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda. The program is a literacy first approach, bringing learners to a 5th grade level of education, promoting health and social awareness, elevating economic status and instilling moral, ethical and spiritual values. In addition to monetary contributions, the organization received donated professional services valued at $50,300. Its volunteers provided program, fundraising and management services in the United States. During the 12 months ended 3-31-23, funds from ReWrite Life enabled training of 585 teachers in 5 countries and enrolled more than 17,550 learners.

    Expenses $654,161 · Grants $623,476

  • At the request of a major donor, a portion of their gift went to Lethas After School Club Program for children. This was a one-time gift to that program which is run by our partners in India who run the literacy classes. With the donors hearts for literacy and children, they made their large contribution to affect both.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
