Made to Flourish

Seven hundred million people can't access the information that would transform their lives - not because it doesn't exist, but because it's not in the language they think, dream, and solve problems in.

Opportunity in Every Language

International Literacy and Development (ILAD) partners with marginalized communities to build economic and educational solutions in the language they know best to solve the problems they have identified.

International Literacy and Development (ILAD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2011 and based in Duncanville, Texas.

We envision a world in which language and location are not barriers to accessing information and opportunities.

International Literacy and Development’s Mission Statement

ILAD promotes human flourishing through educational, economic and social development in communities that are under-resourced. We do this by partnering with communities to facilitate local solutions to local problems through our four core competencies; Agricultural Development, Educational Development, Business Development, and Human Language Technology.
