Light to Read: Adult Literacy for women and girls

Bishop Tony presented The Light to Read Initiative 

to women in Mua village center meeting 

This important adult literacy program will help these 

women find better opportunities for themselves and 

the orphans in their care.

Women actively participated during the meeting to set 

the start date, class time, and the day of the week to 

meet for the literacy program. Every voice was heard.

We hand out the supplies the women need, 

pencils, erasers, tablets, and books.

Some of these women have never seen any of these items

Sewing machines were also provided. As part of 

the program, we help with vocational studies 

for women who complete the class.This is an important 

part of the success of the program for the women 

to apply their knowledge and start a business.We 

need more sewing machines!

Participating women celebrated with refreshments.

 

The first class was conducted

Many of these women were denied education as 

children due to cultural barriers. Some of them began 

writing for the first time during the class. The change 

in their disposition and confidence was obvious 

by the end of the day.
