The Event

On November 22nd, Pangea welcomes our amazing community to usher in PLAY!

Our mission to close the literacy gap remains unwavering. Our early reader programs and teacher development are reaching more learners and having greater impact. And now we will celebrate a pivotal moment in our organization’s history - the transition to becoming locally led. Our dedicated team in Uganda now spearheads day-to-day operations. This shift empowers us to reach even more last-mile learners with the support of prominent partners who share our vision.
