Literacy can free a child from the abusive cycle of child labor and poverty. Empart’s literacy programs focus on needy children in the local region who do not attend school. The children are taught reading, writing, and math, along with basic healthcare education. The 2-3 hour program includes Bible stories, songs and games as well as a meal. The local Church Planter offers this program through the church, and it is free of charge for the children.
