“Ghana is facing one of the worst learning crises in Sub-Saharan Africa.

As someone  noted, "Illiteracy can stymy an individual and a community’s chance of progress and increase poverty and social isolation". Infinity970’s Read for Life programme, works with clusters of schools through the Ghana Education Service to encourage children to read, build their confidence and be able to navigate the very many signs in life.
