Advancing Functional Adult Literacy & Non-Formal Education

The Challenge

Limited access to education creates significant barriers to personal and economic growth. For many adults and out-of-school youth in the communities we serve, the inability to read, write, or perform basic calculations hinders their ability to manage businesses, access information, and participate fully in civic life.

Our Solution

We provide flexible and relevant non-formal education programs tailored to the needs of adults and youth. Our approach focuses on “functional” literacy—providing practical skills that can be immediately applied to improve livelihoods, health, and engagement in community affairs. By creating safe and accessible learning environments, we empower individuals to unlock their potential.

Key Activities

  • Conducting community mobilization campaigns to highlight the value of adult education.

  • Training local Non-Formal Education (NFE) teachers to deliver effective instruction.

  • Providing literacy and numeracy education at 20 dedicated learning centers.

  • Supplying solar lighting systems to enable evening classes for those who work during the day.
