  • Literacy At The Well

    Our Malualkon Community Learning Center teaches the entire community how to read, regardless of gender or age. We are also training “Literacy Leaders” how to teach reading by using games, songs and simple lessons that are easy to learn and fun to share with others. Our goal is to make reading contagious. We know that when a woman can read she will lead her family, community and nation to a more healthy, equitable and peaceful future.
