Need
There are many different dialects in Wayanad and across India. The most common language? English. However, the majority of community members cannot speak English or do not even have the tools and resources to learn English.
Action
Profugo has developed an English Language Program run by Field Fellows and the local school. The program is held after school and on the weekends for children and incorporated into all of our other projects for the adults.
Impact
Over 40 children and adults are learning spoken English. Women in our tailoring training program are learning the essentials to sell merchandise to tourists and communicate with vendors. Children are being equipped with the ability to perform better on standardized tests and open doors that they thought were not possible prior to learning English.
Vision
Our vision is simple: to provide everyone with the opportunity to learn English.
