In Mozambique 60% of adults, mostly women, cannot
read or write. The ALG Literacy courses, held locally in the villages and of
free access, finance literacy classes, including Portuguese and mathematics, in
the rural communities. Averaging £1’450 annually per course, per community, we
want to improve the education of young mothers by increasing their potential
employment, self-esteem and increasing the impact this initiative has over their
children’s education.
The testimonials of the hardworking Mothers who
attend the ALG courses happily, week after week, are heartwarming: “Now I can
write my own name in the Identity Card”. “I couldn’t speak Portuguese, but now
I can communicate with my grandchildren in Portuguese”. “I did not know how to put
the letters of my name together and sign it, but now I do!”
Thank you for contributing to turning an adult’s
dream of learning how to read and write come true!
