Shape Futures
Partner With Us
FableReads exists to make the generational wisdom of the world’s fables freely accessible to children of the world. Children's development and the values that connect us across cultures matter, and together with you, we want to shape the future of the next generation.
The way we work together looks different for every partner, and depends on what you want to enable and achieve.
From global scaling of digital access, via new language collections to real-world initiatives, together we can widen access, create new opportunities for learning and open up new areas of impact across countries and contexts.

Why Partner with us
Reading is fundamental to brain development and future learning, yet many still lack access to quality reading material. Globally, 70% of 10-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries cannot read and understand a simple written text, and in some places fewer than 1% of children have books at home. We provide a global, multilingual library of stories and resources to read and listen to, online and offline. Each story includes guiding questions that invite reflection on universal human values and different perspectives, encouraging independent thinking and discussion. FableReads is intentionally designed to support multidimensional learning and can flex across ages, settings and goals. We provide the content and work with local organisations to implement and deliver for sustainable impact. Across languages, places and ways of learning, each one looks different. Our partners contribute data, feedback and practical insight that help us understand what works, improve what we offer and respond to real-world needs. Every partnership is underpinned by clear agreements, careful safeguards, knowledge sharing and reporting. This ensures we can track and monitor outcomes while protecting data, people and organisations. Our work also contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Ways to Partner
Invest in development and scale
Fund the work behind the stories — new reading levels, audio, exercises and the platform that carries them. Every contribution goes into what children and teachers use, not into paid media.
Sponsor a language collection
Translate it, edit it, narrate it, fund it or connect the people who can make it happen. The result is something lasting. Free to access and available globally.
Integrate it into what you already do
Build the collections into the programmes, classrooms, apps or devices your audience already uses. We keep the resources free and open; you decide how they reach the children you serve.
Fund a regional programme or local school
Support a school or regional partner to put FableReads into practice, adapting the resources to local needs while keeping access free for the children they serve.
Bring your skills and creative talent
Illustration, narration, editing, education expertise, technology or an introduction that opens a door. Contributed skills have shaped every collection we have published so far.

Real-World Initiatives
Where partnership meets the real world
Our first real-world initiatives are underway in schools and communities. Together, they are showing how the resources are adapted in practice and how they can travel across contexts.
