To create an environment where community members embody compassion, empathetic listening and gratitude.

Using English and numerical literacy in empowering adults to transform their respective rural communities we are able to achieve this through construction of a ‘bus library’, tutoring and coaching these adults. Every Ghanaian has the right to education, including those in remote places of Ghana. ‘Adesua Ye’ addresses the problem of illiteracy in the small rural town of Berekuso. By tutoring and coaching adults in English literacy, numeracy and personal development, we believe that ‘Adesua Ye’ can empower the whole community to be the change they seek.
