Through our Literacy initiative, we have an unprecedented opportunity to impact every child in Mozambique by transforming the educational system in partnership with Mozambican teachers and the Ministry of Education. Over the next 20 years, we could impact 16.7 million school-aged children (62% of the population of Mozambique is between the ages of 5 and 25!)
As a result of the initiative:
- Literacy rates are projected to increase to 98%
- 85% of people are projected to procure higher paying jobs
- An entire generation of youth will be transformed and ready to lead their country to continued economic growth
As part of our education initiative, CouldYou? is partnering with OurStories to produce and distribute a series of children’s books native to Mozambique, sharing one story from each province.
