LITERACY TEACHERS' TRAINING POSTPONED!
The Adult Literacy Abhiyan, a 10-year literacy project that began in 2016 has been training hundreds of literacy teachers to run adult literacy program in low literacy areas.
In 2020, we had planned a teachers' training in the month of May. But following the outbreak of COVID-19, the training has been postponed.
We want to be able to train 500 teachers this year and produce at least 15,000 literacy graduates by the end of one-year teaching. We need volunteer teachers.

Say "NO" to Thumb Impression!
These women (in the picture) of Medak district in Telangana State were
shy to come to an adult literacy class. It looked crazy for the women of
their age to sit like little children holding slates in their hands.
But as they kept learning, it gave them confidence and a new hope that
one day they too will be literate, and have a place in the society as
women who can read, write and count their money. They will never
again need somebody's help to do this and will wipe up the stigma of
Thumb Impression!
AIM ASIA has undertaken Adult Literacy Abhiyan with a goal to make 100,000 people literate. A contingent of 2000 literacy teachers are being mobilized to meet the challenge.
Literacy is the ability to read, view, write, design, speak and listen in a way that allows a person to communicate effectively. The power of literacy lies not just in the ability to read and write, but rather in a person's capacity to apply these skills to effectively connect, interpret and discern the intricacies of the world.
Research shows, people with good literacy skills are more likely to have higher self-esteem, better health, better jobs and higher wages than those with poor literacy skill.
Millions of people in low literacy regions are still deprived of the awesome benefit of literacy and ignorant about great many things that our wonderful world has to offer.
We need partners who are willing to invest into the lives of men and women who have never been to a school system.
They deserve at least one opportunity in their life time to read!

Transformation through Literacy
If education is vital to the development of a nation, the need for literacy schools in rural and tribal India cannot be over-emphasized. It is a huge challenge to eradicate illiteracy in a country where 50 percent of the people are illiterate and 90 percent of the women in rural areas have never gone to any school system.
Illiteracy dampens the hopes of a people. Their inability to read and to write or do a two digit sum becomes detrimental to progress in life. The whole wide world of wisdom remains hidden from their eyes.
