ABOUT US
Literacy for Life is a U.S., based non-profit organization. The organization was founded in 2019 by Alice B. Otchere to:
- Develop community based literacy and learning opportunities,
- Provide enhanced literacy and learning through supplemental educational programs,
- Build relationships with teachers, students, school administrators and volunteers in the communities we serve.
Our current project, construction of a modern library facility is located in Sagyimase, a village in the Eastern Region of Ghana. During her first visit to Ghana, Ms. Otchere visited Sagyimase and the surrounding villages and observed that there were no libraries in the area for the school children and others in the community. As an avid reader, Ms. Otchere wanted to do something to ensure the schools, students and all who lived in the area would have access to a library. It was during her first visit that she committed to do her part to work towards building and operating a Library in Sagyimase.
