Mission: Education: The purpose of this project is to implement an adult literacy program for rural dwellers. Women are top priority in this program. Women are the most vulnerable group in any crisis in developing nations. They are often kept back from school only to have and raise children. The project will teach basic reading, writing and vocational skills and support the creation of small business.
The project will also train teachers for the local schools that will be built. Teaching materials will be developed around the culture. The standardized school subjects will be incorporated in the curriculum to meet training needs for the global economy
