We affirm local initiatives in education, turning language barriers into bridges.
Seeking initiative
Change come in all shapes and sizes…
Access
Quality education begins with comprehension. For children whose home language differs from the language of school, success often feels beyond reach. Our programs seek to expand access by enriching the classroom with materials that the children understand and enjoy.
Authorship
We train and empower local authors and artists who write, illustrate and publish their own educational materials in minority languages.
Advocacy
We train and equip local change-makers who have the potential to help minorities re-write their future.
Assessment
We monitor both the current context in which multilingual literacy programs take place, and the progress that communities make toward their educational goals.
