The key to information, they say, is education. Education is the foundation of success; it is through education that one obtains information, which is said to be the key to a brighter future.

Every individual’s personal progress, social development, and economic growth is dependent on their ability to be educated.

Having the capacity to read and write opens up more job opportunities, allowing a person to boost their household income and lift their family out of poverty.

According to records, many African families live below the poverty level. Children from such backgrounds do not attend school, are unable to write or read, and do not appear to have access to education in the near future.
