It’s ! Meet Meredith, our Director of Programs 👋

Meredith oversees the Bilingual Boost Initiative—a new, multi-year foundational literacy program to strengthen how children learn to read in multilingual classrooms across sub-Saharan Africa.

She brings deep expertise to the role: Meredith previously directed foundational learning programs at RTI International and World Learning and consulted for the Global Partnership for Education, working alongside ministries of education across East and Southern Africa. She also completed her doctoral research in Ethiopia as a Fulbright scholar.

For children who have fallen behind in foundational skills, the right support can change everything.

The Luminos program delivers both exceptionally high impact on children’s learning and strong cost-effectiveness.

This evidence spans:
✔️ A six-year longitudinal study
✔️ A randomized controlled trial (RCT)
✔️ 30+ rigorous independent evaluations across each of our country programs, available on our website

Together, these studies confirm meaningful gains in foundational literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional learning. Learn more in our latest Annual Report > https://bit.ly/luminos-2025-annual-report

Marie and William never had the chance to attend school—until the Luminos catch-up program in opened the door to education.

For their father, Victor, the change has been deeply moving: watching his children discover confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

“Phonics has built the foundation for them. Now my children can read and are in Grade 3 at the school,” he says.

This , we celebrate Africa's children. In our first decade, nearly half a million of them have experienced joyful, foundational learning through Luminos. 🌍📚

They deserve education systems that meet them where they are. That's what Luminos exists to build—together with governments, teachers, and communities across the continent.

Our 2025 Annual Report reflects this shared journey: how we’ve worked together to ensure our programs are locally rooted, culturally relevant, and built to scale. Read it here > https://bit.ly/luminos-2025-annual-report.

When children fall behind in school, catching up can feel impossible—but it doesn’t have to be.

For children like Sumaya in Ghana, just one year in a Luminos classroom can open the door back to mainstream education and spark a lifelong love for learning. 🎥 Watch her inspiring journey back into the classroom!

“I want to tell other kids that there is joy in school. School enables you to become somebody so you can take care of everybody else.”

Stories like Sumaya’s are at the heart of our latest Annual Report. It’s a look at 10 years of impact, learning, and transformation. Explore the report > https://bit.ly/luminos-2025-annual-report

Our latest Annual Report is here! Dive into our impact and stories from our classrooms. 📊

Inside, explore a decade of transformative impact in numbers, how we’re building a movement to unlock learning for every child, and how we’re scaling through partnerships.

Backed by 30+ independent evaluations, our results are clear: after one year in the Luminos program, children learn to read, write, and do math—and consistently outperform their peers in government schools.

And the impact lasts: students stay in school, grow more confident, and continue to thrive years later!
