Kendji Girac will tame a new scene.

But the man has a secret: he has suffered from illiteracy since his parents took him out of school so that he could learn his trade as soon as possible.

A story that resonates particularly for the singer, as he explained to the

“I went to school, I was even a good student but with the trips, I never stayed 10 months in the year at school.

Committed

Kendji Girac has since been passionate about this cause, which is more than ever part of our daily lives: according to the ANLCI, illiteracy affects around 2.5 million people in France.

In France, 15% of people aged 18 to 65 have difficulty reading.

A problem that is all the more serious in that it makes it difficult for all these people to use digital tools, which have become increasingly important in their daily lives since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

The singer therefore wants to go further in his commitment and support an association that fights to reduce the inequalities created by illiteracy.
