The Unconscious Abduction – Child Trafficking

When you support the educational programs of L.I.T.E. you help us END child trafficking every day!

Child trafficking of any form must end! L.I.T.E. shows mothers effective ways to financially support their families so that they do not feel their only choice is to give their child away. L.I.T.E also develops programs for young girls to show them the power of education. L.I.T.E. believes that education is the direct path out of poverty. Education will also shine light on the ugliness of trafficking and the brokenness it delivers to families.

Closed Books – Literacy in West Africa

Literacy rates this low threatens economic security in the country, job opportunity, consistent health levels, and quality democracy.

West Africa continues to have some of the lowest literacy rates in the world. While there is no universal measurement for literacy, we use the ability for people 15 years or older to read and write at a specified age. 40-50% of West Africans do not know how to read or write. This is a state of national emergency!
