Women's Literacy Classes

Empower women with the ability to read


Illiterate women in developing nations face great difficulties. They fail to keep their children safe because they can’t read warning labels. Debt piles up because they can’t understand the bad contracts they sign. They’re cheated in the marketplace because they can’t do basic math. Even if they want to read, there is no way to learn.

With your help, women in developing nations can learn to read and will be equipped to tackle life’s hurdles.

GFA World-supported women’s fellowships hold weekly literacy classes for women. The women learn to read, write, and do math. Because the curriculum is grounded in Scripture, the women learn God’s Word and can read the Bible for the first time.

  • Say goodbye to debt. Women no longer have to sign bad contracts they can’t read.
  • Save a few bucks. Now that they know how to add, women can get fair prices in the marketplace.
  • Don’t drink that. Those warning labels make sense now. Women can keep their family safe from danger.
  • Let me write that down. How hard is it to remember things when you can’t write? It’s a simple skill that changes the lives of these women.
  • “For God so loved the...” Wow! For the first time, women can read the Bible and study God’s Word for themselves.
