The World is Just a Book Away is an organization that I truly believe in and am happy to be a part of. I think that books should not be a luxury, they should be accessible to everyone. The opportunities and travels that children can experience through books are endless. Jenny Ming, WIJABA supporter & retail fashion industry executive Reading opens doors to new opportunities and new worlds. We believe that every child deserves equal access to books. With a strong foundatio...n of literacy and education, children are equipped to become big dreamers and compassionate leaders. Want to hear more from Jenny? Our Founder and CEO, James Owens, sat down with Jenny on our podcast to discuss the impact of books and reading in her life.

Everyone, everywhere deserves the opportunity to discover joy, curiosity, and inspiration within the pages of books!

The Children Served by WIJABA Desperately Need Our Help. If you are in a position to give anything during this time, everything makes a difference. Link in bio. #nonprofit #covidhealth #wijaba #wijabapendidikan

Your donations make miracles happen. As you know, WIJABA serves some of the world's most underprivileged children. These are the children and families most at risk from the unprecedented dangers posed by the pandemic. In response, WIJABA created a completely new model of delivering short, educational videos over WhatsApp groups, organized school by school (across hundreds of schools). These children live in households without computers and the families access to information... is often limited to one parent's inexpensive smartphone. Please consider donating today to change the lives of children and possibly help save their lives and the lives of their family members. #wijaba #theworldisjustabookaway #covidhealth #wijabapendidikan
