summary | A video emphasizes that out of an estimated global population exceeding half a billion children lacking basic literacy skills, UNESCO reports only 34% enrollment rates for secondary education within low-income countries compared to over three-quarters (91%) seen among high-income nations—UNESCO UIS and World Bank data confirm this disparity.
Additionally:
* UN figures show approximately 130 million girls globally are deprived of educational opportunities. * In South Asia, close to a dozen millions children work instead of pursuing their education due to child labor. ILO highlights these concerning trends affecting children's access to schooling in the region (ILO).
* UNICEF reveals that students may have as little as one textbook for every twenty learners—a severe shortage impacting learning outcomes.
In response:
An individual known only by Antonio La Cava—once a teacher—is now an advocate against this educational injustice. He operates 'The Bibliomotocarro,' repurposing his van into what is described here simply yet poignantly, “a mobile library.” His mission: transporting books to the children of isolated villages in southern Italy's countryside—a direct effort aimed at bridging gaps created by poverty and distance.
To date:
La Cava has contributed 12,500 donations for educational resources through 'The Bibliomotocarro' initiative. Anticipation builds as a projected figure reaches nearly double that amount—13,000 expected contributions anticipated in the following year (2025).
Support is solicited from those moved by this cause to sustain and expand La Cava's efforts.
