"I learned to read at 32. Now I teach other women to do the same."

Fatima arrived at a refugee camp in Chad with three children and no formal schooling.

Today, she runs a literacy circle that has helped 84 women read for the first time. Her story is one of 50+ featured stories from women in our programs.
