The Global Literacy Project, Inc. (GLP) is a New Jersey based nonprofit and tax-exempt [501 (C) 3] organization that develops community-based literacy initiatives throughout the world primarily through the creation of libraries and library support programs in rural schools and community centers.

The organization was cofounded by two Rutgers University professors, Olubayi Olubayi and Denniston Bonadie, who created a model of community development centered around libraries as practical knowledge centers. Initiatives focus primarily on rural and/or distressed communities and they have established libraries and literacy support programs in Africa (Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Swaziland, South Africa); South Asia (India-Tamil Nadu); and the Caribbean (Tobago, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines).
