Supporting lifelong learning
Lifelong learning is a central tenet of our citizenship strategy.
Across the 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 network, we understand and value the benefits of a foundation of education and lifelong learning. It can be the key to unlocking potential and to help people out of alife in poverty. That is why lifelong learning and opportunity is a central tenet of our citizenship strategy. Through our ongoing collaborations, we have developed a learning continuum which starts with 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 Family for Literacy, moving on to Junior Achievement, Enactus and One Young World, which helps us to develop the leaders we need for the future.
乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 Families for Literacy
Recognizing that strong reading skills are the basis for future success, and that the biggest obstacle to children鈥檚 literacy in low-income communities is a lack of books, 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 in the US started the Family for Literacy (KFFL) program in 2008 in the US.
The aim is to help provide new books to children from low-income families. Managed in collaboration with First Book, in seven years the program has expanded to all 90 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 offices in the United States and has grown to become a key citizenship program for our member firms in India, South Africa and Mexico.
In 2015 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 in Kenya launched KFFL to coincide with Educate Her Parade. This initiative celebrates the advancement of women and girls by providing scholarships for girls from communities where female education is not a priority.
Junior Achievement Global
Junior Achievement (JA) Worldwide is a not-for-profit organization addressing the social and economic challenges of over 10 million young people. JA provides hands-on financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work-readiness learning, enabling students to use their skills to strengthen their families, communities, nations and economies.
Enactus
Enactus continues to be a strong part of our citizenship programs around the world. We have been an active supporter of and participant in Enactus for more than 13 years, helping to mobilize students to make a difference in their communities, while they also develop the skills that will enable them to become the next generation of socially responsible business leaders.
In 2015, the Enactus World Cup competition took place in Johannesburg as an African event bringing student teams together from 36 countries, joined by academic and business leaders, to showcase how entrepreneurial action can help to achieve social progress within communities, including in some of the world鈥檚 least developed countries.
Among the student innovations presented were ways to create sustainable, local power generation, create saleable products from recycled materials, and a project for making and selling eyeglasses for a dollar in poor communities. This was also a milestone year for 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 International鈥檚 collaboration with Enactus, as we have continued our 6 year World Cup sponsor partnership towards 2017.

One Young World
The One Young World summit is a global forum led by business and human rights institutions working together to address the concerns and potential of young future leaders.
The annual three-day event provides a global platform to develop, empower, engage and network with the best and brightest people 鈥� helping them to grow into socially responsible business leaders.
Delegates from the 乐鱼(Leyu)体育官网 network join 1,300 other young leaders to debate and formulate positive, actionable solutions for the world鈥檚 most pressing issues.
