Literacy for Liberation              Haiti                                                       

Adult illiteracy is keeping the Haitian people in a perpetual cycle of poverty. More than half of Haiti’s adult population is illiterate. In a country where most people are living on less than a dollar each day, funding an education comes secondary to securing food and shelter for 
a family.

BEYOND BORDERS is working to provide Haitians with the basics of learning through reading programs and by assisting communities and churches in establishing literacy centers for adults and children who are too old to enroll in traditional schools. Through these centers, thousands of Haitians have already learned to read, write, and develop other skills needed to break the bonds of poverty.
