Children love to tell stories. However, in many places in the world, their creative voices are rarely heard or cultivated. Seeds of Empowerment, a global non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, provides these children with a voice.
Our mobile storytelling program, 1001 Stories, brings meaningful learning to some of the hardest to reach populations around the world. We aim to facilitate the creation, development, and gathering of 1001 empowering stories from every participating local community. 1001 Stories … is only just the beginning … be a part of the story!
The 1001 Stories Program conducts storytelling workshops that build on children’s natural potential to become original storytellers. Through the 1001 Stories Program, children are empowered while their literacy skills are developed. When integrated with mobile technologies, these stories become an effective tool for literacy by growing reading and writing skills grounded in local languages and local themes in underserved areas worldwide.
The 1001 Stories Program leverages the rapidly expanding global mobile network to foster literacy development and a self-sustaining entrepreneurship model. Children learn to read the stories that children in other part of the world have created and then write their own original stories.
