Another SGHA recipient last year was MYReaders, a social enterprise that provides sustainable reading programmes and relevant resources to schools and communities to encourage children to read.

After four teachers discovered their students were having problems grasping basic English, MYReaders was founded in 2014 with the mission to eradicate illiteracy so that one day, every child will be able to read.
