The literacy project targets disadvantaged individuals and families within the Sofala and Inhambane provinces. Literacy classes will be held in community settings with the immediate objective being to provide 546 individuals, both men and women with literacy skills. This will be done by conducting the Literacy project in 19 groups across three provinces and eight districts.

The success of the project will be measured by an exit assessment of the individual’s literacy competency for each module of the program. Curriculum has been developed and facilitators trained and supported as they teach participants.

In 2023, the project will continue to work towards seeing Mozambicans provided with the skills to read and write, and fulfil the plan God has for their lives. The team will employ four full time staff and 19 group facilitators across three provinces. All participants will be presented with their own Bible at the completion of Module One.

In 2021, classes were established in 26 villages across five provinces with 544 students completing the literary program. These students achieved a Grade 3 literacy standard. The project developed an effective pedagogic methodology for the development of literacy, basic numeracy, health and fundamental agricultural skills.

In 2023, the project will run 19 groups across three provinces, directly benefitting 546 participants (501 women and 45 men).

The Literacy for Life Project will transform individuals, families and communities, potentially resulting in 2,750 indirect beneficiaries. Church congregations are expected to be transformed with an increase in literate members who can read the Bible and engage in meaningful Bible discussions, encouraging the formation of personal faith.
