Now in its third year, this project aims to improve the literacy skills of young people through intensive study of various resources and materials focusing on healing and reconciliation, including Bible-based resources. Five specific groups are being targeted in this project: school students and out of school youth; teachers; parents; pastors and grassroots leaders.

In 2023 the project will: reach 10,400 school children, 3,840 out of school youth, 67 parents and 22 community leaders on healing and reconciliation. It aims to build the capacity of 55 pastors and 40 youth church leaders to promote activities of improved literacy; along with educating 44 teachers on how to conduct reconciliation education. It also aims to educate 164 peer leaders to be facilitators of reconciliation; facilitate the mainstreaming of Bible based programs on healing and peacebuilding; and increase the knowledge of the word of God through use of Scripture-based reconciliation instruction materials, New Testament, and other Christian books.

Through enhancing biblical knowledge at primary and secondary schools, along with parental and teacher training support, the project will facilitate healing of wounds and restoration of relationships, with God, among individuals and ultimately entire communities. The impact of this will be demonstrated by surveys, reports, literacy tests and decreased violence between the Hutus and Tutsis.

More specifically, among the youth, there is a reduction in genocide ideology, increased reconciliation between the two people groups and improved literacy and analytical skills. For teachers, they have gained confidence in transmitting the message of peacebuilding and reconciliation. Parents exhibit a greater understanding of the foundations of repentance and forgiveness and provide guidance to their children. And for pastors and leaders, their ability to objectively approach division in their congregations has improved, and they show active participation in the peacebuilding, healing and reconciliation program.

Since its beginning, the project has reached 19,602 students/youth, who were direct and indirect beneficiaries, having their literacy skills improved through education in reconciliation.
