The CasaSito literacy classes for adults provide a comprehensive teaching plan, through a practical methodology for adults over 15 with cultural relevance to family members of the CasaSito Association scholars. The main objective is for them to learn to read, write, and perform basic mathematical operations. But it is also an empowerment program to raise their self-esteem and allow them to be independent and make informed decisions.
Guatemala has high rates of illiteracy in its population, especially in people over 15 years of age who live in rural areas. This situation limits their ability to advance, understand their rights, and be responsible citizens, condemning them to perpetual poverty.
CasaSito believes that it is necessary to provide adult education with appropriate methodologies. This year, CasaSito offered a pilot primary education project for adults in collaboration with CONALFA, the national literacy committee. 5 mothers of our scholars participated with great results. We hope to continue creating opportunities for our community in 2024 by opening level 1 classes for newcomers, and level 2 for current participants.
Education brings greater opportunities for better jobs and a better understanding of their civil rights, and it is also a tool for their personal development. This empowerment allows them to be independent and make life decisions.
