The 2025 Dyslexia Advocates Fellowship is not just a story about Africa, it is a global call to action. In a world where 1 in 5 people are affected by dyslexia, this program offers a blueprint for addressing learning differences through community empowerment, education, and policy reform.

By fostering partnerships and expanding resources, we can ensure that every child, whether in a bustling city or a remote village has access to the tools they need to succeed.
