KG LAUGHING FOR LITERACY

10% of our net proceeds go toward educational and community development initiatives in the countries we celebrate in our games.

In September 2018, we launched the #LaughingForLiteracy (LFL) initiative, thanks to YOU!! LFL started as a 1:1 initiative, where we gave a book to a kid in an under-served community for every game we sold. In 2019, we realized that we needed to do more than books, as members of the communities we served had other needs. As such, we changed the scope of LFL to educational and community development initiatives, allowing us to make an even bigger and more relevant impact in our communities.
