Published purpose
The Literacy for Life program works with community partners in South Asia and Canada that emphasize literacy skills and non-formal education for women and children. The program focuses 95% of its efforts on the poorest and most under developed region of the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, 5% in Nepal. Women are at the core of the Literacy for Life program, and it makes a concerted effort to integrate gender equality in all aspects of operations. Literacy for Life is organized around focus areas such as literacy, health awareness, social enterprise, and women's advocacy groups.
