Sample Project

We offer adults a second chance at education thanks to our 8-month

adult literacy program. Our priority is to ensure students can read,
write and do basic calculations by the end of the program. Once the
course is complete, we encourage students to attend our vocational
training program (where they can learn trades such as weaving and
tailoring) as well as other programs run by the government or other
NGOs. In turn, these adult students are frequently motivated to send
their children to Friendship schools.

What we teach
Literacy
The adult literacy program is conducted over 8 months.
Students learn to read and write, and to apply this knowledge
in their daily lives
Numeracy
Under the adult numeracy program, adults (and adolescents)
learn about numbers and arithmetic so that they can keep
track of their own financial matters, such as wages and market
transactions.
Good Governance Programme
Our curriculum also includes lessons on social rights, the legal system
and how to access legal support. We also connect students with the
more extensive programs of our Good Governance sector.
What impact we have had
Our classes give pupils the knowledge and tools to make a better living
for themselves. They are now able to perform tasks including:
Checking payments and wages received
Reading and signing contracts without being cheated
Start training for employment
Understanding their civil and voting rights
