Mission

We work with primary schools in Malawi to improve the literacy levels of thousands of underprivileged children across the country. These children are required to be fluent in the English language by the time they reach Year 5, when all subjects are taught and examined in English. CharChar has developed a literacy program (the CharChar Literacy Programme - CCLP) to support the Malawi National Curriculum and the National Reading Program (NRP). The CCLP focusses on developing the phonemic awareness of teachers and pupils through the delivery of phonics workshops, on-site training and support to our own volunteer literacy support specialist teachers and government teachers alike.

Literacy for Malawi

Education & Technology

Malawi

After completing 4 years of school in Malawi, most children tend to drop out and over 70% emerge illiterate. Since 2007, CharChar has provided 50,000 Malawian children with access to quality education, helping to reduce high drop-out rates in Primary School. We work with 10 public primary schools to improve the literacy levels of more than 4,000 children and ensure they have the skills needed to complete formal education. These schools have provided an evidence-based case for national scale-up.
