Adult Literacy

$25


Description

Many adults facing poverty never had the chance to complete their schooling. This gift helps adults access rights, build confidence and enjoy new possibilities through literacy skills and learning opportunities.

How your gift helps

By purchasing this gift, you are supporting education projects run by Tearfund’s partners around the world. Thank you for your support.

Many adults facing poverty, like Jheni, didn’t have the chance to get an education when they were younger. Tearfund supports partners who are running literacy programs for adults. Learning to read and write boosts their confidence and empowers them to access their entitlements and enjoy new opportunities.

Tearfund’s partner the Diocese of Hyderabad established a primary school in Jheni’s village in Pakistan in 2020 and, as part of this project, it also started running female adult literacy classes. “I am proud that I can now help my children with their schoolwork,” says Jheni.
