Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation
We seek to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and our community through literacy.
We advance First Lady Barbara Bush's legacy interest in literacy in her hometown. We believe that literacy is a fundamental skill upon which success in school, work and life is built and that everyone deserves the right to learn how to read. Unfortunately, there is a literacy crisis in Houston. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals, the prosperity of families and the vitality of our city by implementing a Blueprint developed with more than 100 community leaders in 2014.
Changing Lives Through the Power of Literacy.
Literacy. Love. Lives.
