Moms for Literacy- No child must be denied the right to literacy

In observance of International Literacy Day, bmobile has reinforced its partnership with the Moms for Literacy Caribbean, a non-profit organisation dedicated to bridging the literacy gap in Trinidad and Tobago. 

The NGO’s Remedial Reading intervention programs have helped thousands of children and adults improve their literacy skills and unlock their full potential.

“No child must be denied the right to literacy,” said Operations Officer, Corretta Francis, who emphasised the importance of early intervention.

 “In our 30 years of tutoring, we have determined that many students are entering secondary school with weak reading, writing and comprehension skills. They become frustrated, and eventually drop out of school without achieving five CSEC passes. Continuous support for literacy programmes is crucial in reaching our national goal to end illiteracy by 2030.”

Founded in 1992, Moms for Literacy began its work after recognising that many children were leaving the primary school system unable to read, write and comprehend the written print effectively. Its programs focus on providing educational resources, tutoring, and literacy workshops. 

Anjanie Ramesar-Soom of bmobile’s Corporate, Environmental, Social & Reputation Management noted that education is the cornerstone of a thriving society. 

“At bmobile, we believe that every individual, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to learn and grow. By supporting Moms for Literacy, we are investing in the future of our nation. bmobile is committed to being part of this important change as we work towards providing a brighter and more equitable future for all citizens,” she said.
