Funding for literacy classes

Local people asked us to support literacy classes for adults, so we started in late 2012.

Our census of the area around our school revealed many adults wanted help with reading and writing. They had either not been to school, or had not completed a full education.

Better literacy – as well as a basic right – also improves people’s chances of getting a job and of receiving decent healthcare.

Kenya’s literacy rates – 90% for males and 83% for females (World Bank, 2010) – are good for Africa. But these overall figures hide pockets of poor literacy in the country. People themselves see the benefit and want to help themselves, with a little support from us.

Support our literacy classes by giving as little as £3 a month.
