In Togo, illiteracy affects around 43.3% of young people and adults aged 15 to 44, or 977,000 people, more than two-thirds of whom are women (670,000). The literacy issue concerns women more
but also men. Women are more affected by its consequences during their activities, trade for example (account, credit notes, etc.).
The DZIDZO association works in the field of education, touched by these glaring figures, we have implemented a "LITERACY PROJECT" in the plateau region in the village of Kuma
apoti. The official launch of the project took place on November 06, 2021, a total of 25 learners benefited from the course materials, thus beyond the classic concept of a set
skills in reading, writing and arithmetic, this project will allow the target to acquire means of identification,
understanding, interpretation, creation and communication in an increasingly digital world. They will have reading, writing,
calculations but also the use of telephones…. The project aims to contribute to improving the literacy level of the target population. More
specifically, it is about teaching learners not only notions of reading and calculations, but also teaching them to integrate these notions into their
everyday life, in their business, with their children and relatives. In the long term, financial support will be offered to them for an Income Generating Activity (IGA) of their choice.
