About Us
Overview
​
The Literacy Project is a registered charity, established for the purpose of promoting the significance of reading and writing to lifelong learning. Established in March, 2017, we work with our nation’s youth via the Barbados National Library Service and Schools to foster a love for reading and an appreciation for the knowledge that may be derived.
We encourage active engagement with the material shared through exploratory discussion, in an effort to emphasize the importance of adopting a healthy questioning stance in the learning process.
Participant groups are always encouraged to also express their thoughts in writing, as well as, to enhance their confidence through vocal expression and presentation.
​
Whilst we aim to serve multiple demographics with our work, our primary objective as charity is to provide literacy support to young persons from disadvantaged backgrounds, who have literacy challenges.
Mission
