01 Digital Literacy
In today’s world, we live, learn, communicate and work through digital technologies. The key to economic development is to bridge the digital divide and equip everyone with the necessary skills to use the internet meaningfully; and to find, evaluate and share content efficiently. The Global DLC Social Impact Community underlines the importance of digital literacy in facilitating educational and professional opportunities for growth. The Community works with NGOs committed to the cause of getting all to embrace technology as an invaluable learning tool from infancy through adulthood.

To ensure sustained learning it is part of their mandate to provide shelter, food and clothes to the underprivileged.

03 Financial Literacy
Financial literacy has a profound impact on people and their ability to provide for their future. Through training campaigns, events and meet-up activities, several NGOs are involved in spreading awareness and knowledge of Government schemes for insurance, investment, housing, employment etc. besides the basics of savings, spending and management of financial resources. The DLC Social Impact Community partners with them to promote financial literacy - the pathway to inclusivity. As change-makers of financial literacy, the larger goal is to create local leaders and influencers who will build problem-solving abilities.

Less than half of 15-year-olds in OECD countries (47%) are able to distinguish facts from opinions in texts according to an expert presenting at a UNESCO event. Clearly, we need to raise the bar in the quality of education we impart. Do your bit. Be the change. #DLCSocialImpact
