READING EDGE AFRICA

We set up study groups through which we provide literacy training to pupils struggling to read and write in Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone. We also make available culturally appropriate reading materials for the pupils in these countries. We also provide training to teachers on bespoke methods of teaching reading and writing skills.
