A land of beautiful, talented people plagued by poverty.
We Are Solving Both Problems
We hire women from the local communities, train them, and deploy
them as reading coaches in schools and preschools.
Women get their first job,
receiving training, and are on the economic ladder.
Families are now receiving
incomes.
Children are taught to read
and write, thus unlocking their ability to learn in all other
subjects.
Children hear 1,000 stories
before age 7, supercharging their vocabulary, imagination, and
memory.
Children's confidence soars.
Where We Work
Masi works in over 150 schools and preschools in South Africa's most
impoverished region. The children we support are amongst the most
impoverished on earth.
