Through innovative programs such as the Community-Led Literacy Empowerment Network (CLEN) , E4Change has pioneered new approaches to education that are culturally sensitive, community-driven, and inclusive, resulting in improved literacy rates, enhanced learning outcomes, and greater social integration for all individuals. E4Change began teacher professional development through Mobile Resource Teachers.
Among the continuous activities that we have been doing since E4Change’s beginning is teachers’ capacity building through mobile professional development. The capacity building training is conducted by identifying gaps in teachers’ skills, and E4Change’s Teacher Trainer travels to the Kelafo district villages each week.
The teachers in each village benefit directly from the professional training, which makes them improve their teaching capacity and makes them competent. Consequently, the students, found in each respective school, are the indirect beneficiaries from this program. We serve 2191 students and 59 teachers within six villages.
When women are literate they are able to support their children in being literate, become entrepreneurs and make change for their families. The power of literacy is that it changes life for more than one person.
Hope Library was built in 2018 in Kelafo, Ethiopia through a generous donation to E4C. Presently, there are over 10,000 books and resources available for digital signing out through the oversight of a full-time librarian.
