Literacy

Develop reading materials and programs, and pass on your skills to others.

Literacy can, quite literally, be the difference between life and death. Imagine English without books or any written information. Even in a post-literate age, that’s scary. Millions of people all over the world have no one to help them write down their language, produce books, or set up programs to teach adults and children to read. In almost all cases, it is the poor and marginalised who are denied access to literacy.

Wycliffe and its partner organisation, SIL International, are working alongside local communities to see this situation change, and offer specialist training in the various aspects of literacy work. Read about the difference literacy makes in our February 2016 edition of Wycliffe Today.
