Alfalit International is a great organization which provides the opportunity to hundreds of hundreds of illiterate adults to learn how to read and write either in Spanish or Haitian-Creole. The joy and gratitude in the faces of lots of students that are blessed by this opportunity is amazing, people's testimonies about being able to help their children with homework and getting the opportunity of a better job among other things is cause of great satisfaction. Be able to be part of a change of live for someone else it's a gift.

Alfalit is an organization that deeply cares about its staff, teachers and students. During COVID they've demonstrated professionalism and compassion in ensuring everyone connected to the nonprofit has as many resources as possible to get through the pandemic--from food, to safety materials and information, and moral support. I'm thankful to be a part of the family.

I love working with Alfalit! It is a nonprofit that offers the gift of education to vulnerable people around the world that never had a chance to go to school. I feel honored to be involved with an organization that is changing people's lives. During this challenging time, when the world is facing a pandemic, and classes had to shut down, Alfalit has not abandoned its staff and students; it distributed masks, food, and leaflets about the coronavirus to help the students and their families learn how to deal with the virus. I thank God for the opportunity to work in such a place as Alfalit!

My experience with Alfalit has been amazing, having over 57 years in business and helped an average of 8 million people means a lot. Their mission of improving other people’s life and giving hope to those in need is incredible. They are able to give the gift of education and knowledge which is one of the few things in life we do not lose and opens the doors of new opportunities.

Alfalit has a long way to go to become a household name, but the work we are doing as a team is commendable. When I first learned of the English class program (free and open to the public,) I knew the organization had potential and I wanted to be a part of the movement. Keep up the good work, team!

This is an outstanding organization where only 8% goes to cover all administrative costs, and 92% actually goes to the people, spreading literacy to 125,000 students yearly, in over 22 countries, all at a cost of only $60.00 per student. The staff is amazing, the cause is amazing, the administration is amazing. They provide books, train the teachers, food, even help create and train for a sustainable vocation in rural places so that the people are empowered and can pass on the empowerment to eliminate hunger and poverty.
