Educating adults how to read and write

 

Currently the project is helping the Kamakwie town to have an adult literacy program. The teaching lessons are held at weekends for both adults and children. The training includes mastering the basics of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. The school provides the necessary pencils and paper for the learning process. The change could be achieved by the students in their life by all this is priceless:

 

In addition, the first library is currently being established, so that the villagers are able to use the newly found reading ability with real books. This will help solve a major problem where currently there are no books to read after school.

 

Schooling talented children

 

Many families cannot afford to finance their children's education. There is even a problem for parents at buying a pencil, an exercise book is a major expenditure for any family. For them it is not at all rare to cover as many as 20 kilometers daily on foot to school and back home. They are given food only at school, if the school's financial budget makes that possible. For plenty of children it is the most important opportunity for meal.

 

Launching a local school library

 

Schools from the UK are donating their books so that the pupils will be able to have access to learning books and literature.

 

Providing micro loans for families

 

In Kamakwie, the woman of the house runs the finances. These same women also have the potential but being offered micro loans, to invest and not only increase their basic living standards, but gain the respect of the community by creating something. The use of these loans vary, one example is to purchase seed grains and repay the loans once the harvest is collected. We can give financial aid to small businesses, such as hooking up simple greengrocer's kiosks, where they especially could sell salt and green pepper. Breadwinner men could obtain micro loans for businesses like ironmongery, and by welding they could create doors, windows and selling fuel in bottles. These small businesses can bring a smile on the face of an outsider till he or she realizes the fact that in extremely poor circumstances even the subsistence of whole families can depend on them.
