Meet Fama, 12-year-old student from Senegal. She shares,"Education is very important because I am the one who helps my parents and sibling when they have messages or want to make a phone call. If they were literate they could do these simple tasks by themselves.” #embraceequity

#EmbraceEquity and imagine what's possible when there is no age limit put on returning to school. Our innovative Adult Literacy Program is pushing LIMITS, and giving women in rural communities the opportunity to gain crucial skills in literacy and numeracy.
