The aim of this project is to teach adults and children to read and write in Koti thereby empowering a generation of illiterate people, enabling them to get better jobs, improving their family life and developing leaders in the church.

If parents can read and their children can read, it creates a very different environment at home. It becomes a place of stimulation and learning. The benefits accruing from being able to read and write are life transforming. The children are less likely to drop out of school and the girls less likely to be forced into early marriage.

When adults become literate their attitude to education radically changes and this programme, which is for both adults and children, is directed at changing the hearts and minds in the whole area of education within this community, as well as equipping the students with a foundation on which they can build that will enable them to better support themselves and their families.
