Our Programs and Projects

DEVELOPMENT AND PRINTING OF LITERACY MATERIALS

Primers
PALM has developed materials for teaching basic literacy in many languages in East and central Africa. In Kenya we have materials in twelve languages and have a similar number in Tanzania. Other countries where our materials are being used are Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and South Sudan.

English As a Second Language
We also have materials for Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) developed in partnership with Literacy & Evangelism International. This particular series “Using Every day English” has been developed with the learners and facilitators (of (ESL) from Africa in mind. The series also comes with an accompanying soundtrack for guiding both the facilitator and the learner.

Other materials:
• a basic numeracy learner and facilitator numeracy manual.
• a shell book on HIV and AIDS that has been translated into Swahili, kamba and Maasai.

TRAINING OF LITERACY FACILITATORS

PALM conducts 5 day on site workshops to train literacy workers who intend to use our materials for teaching basic literacy. This training takes the literacy facilitator through various topics such as: class organization, teaching of numeracy and writing, the adult learner and records keeping among others.

LITERACY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

If you are starting a literacy program, call us for advice or design of your program. We also design literacy programs that have an evangelist approach for churches. We have worked with Bible Societies in many nations in Africa. This is a 3 day or five day workshop that is meant for literacy program coordinators.
