**Brand Description: World Stories Bank**

World Stories Bank is a dynamic initiative dedicated to connecting cultures through a rich treasury of multicultural stories that inspire and uplift children worldwide. Our mission is to create a multilingual ecosystem that transcends borders, targeting at least 12 major languages alongside English to reach over 5 billion individuals. Our curated collection features “kid-tested” stories, ensuring they are both entertaining and meaningful, helping children embrace their fullest potential.

We are building our platform on the foundation laid by the non-profit organization Stories to Grow By, which has a legacy dating back to the 1990s. Our catalog already includes over 100 impactful stories from diverse countries and traditions, and we aim to significantly expand this collection. Our work is supported by vibrant partnerships within our community in Philadelphia, PA. We are excited to launch the English version of the World Stories Bank website in early 2025, followed by additional languages, starting with Spanish, later that year. Join us in fostering a wiser world through storytelling!
