About Us

who we are

PALM was founded in 1978 and operated first as a Society under the name Literacy and Evangelism Fellowship (L&EF). The name change was done in 2006 to respond to the new avenues of ministry that were beginning to emerge in the region and which the old name would have restricted its entry into. We are the East and Central Africa Regional partners for Literacy and Evangelism International of Tulsa USA. In 1994, PALM (the L&EF) received a UNESCO Recognition Award for meritorious work in literacy within Kenya and Eastern Africa. In the years 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, L&EF/PALM was voted by the Kenyan Government as “The NGO with the best Literacy programs” in the country. PALM has undertaken work in Tanzania, Somaliland, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, Namibia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mauritius and S. Sudan. In 2007, the board of PALM initiated the Africa Office to take care of the regional opportunities that were beginning to emerge.
