AKILI LITERACY CENTER
Akili Literacy Center provides books and other learning resources to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who cannot afford them. It also offers computer skills training to both in school and out of school youth enabling them to acquire the essential computer skills needed for success in today's computer-driven society.
In addition, it promotes literacy for children by teaching them how to read and write, storytelling, organizing spelling bees and essay writing competitions, read aloud days etc. The center also runs the Write Our World Program which involves digital interaction and sharing of information about culture, art and norms between the akili girls and students from other countries. This is aimed at increasing the girls’ own cultural self-awareness in order to become better communicators through intercultural awareness. The Program aims at enabling the girls to develop a greater sense of tolerance and understanding of cross-cultural differences in both personal and professional interactions, especially in this digital age.
The center also provides information and training on climate smart farming to rural farmers to enable them adapt to the changing climate and improve food security and livelihoods.
