According to the World Atlas website, literacy is defined as: "a critical piece of individual progress, social development, and economic health. Having the ability to read and write provides more educational and employment opportunities to the population, allowing people to increase their household incomes and bring their family out of low-income conditions. This skill has also been tied to improved public health conditions and increased political participation." The literacy rate in Kenya is 85% for males and 78.2% for females. Of all the African countries, Kenya ranks 15th, While progress has been made over the decades, there is room for improvement. The Foundation will direct its funding and energy toward improving literacy rates, especially for women.

We're thrilled to announce that, based on community feedback, we've decided to hold our classes on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, from 9 am to 11 am, each week!

As of today, we had 53 amazing women join us. To ensure we build a strong and consistent group, we'll be monitoring attendance for the next month or so. We'll continue to welcome those who show up regularly while we work towards establishing a core group of participants.

We’re excited to see our community grow and learn together! Stay tuned for more updates.
