Family Literacy Initiative Program
What is the Family Literacy Initiative?
The Family Literacy Initiative is making a difference in economically challenged communities by empowering parents to be their children’s first teachers. Active in West Point, Caldwell, Duazon, and Neezoe, the initiative has reached 128 families with tailored training and support.
Transformation & Impact
From scribbling to letter knowledge, story sequencing to spelling names, children are progressing thanks to their parents’ dedication. Parents are gaining skills and confidence to guide their children’s learning journey.
Training & Support
Weekly training sessions and hands-on activities prepare home visitors to deliver the curriculum effectively. This training model ensures consistency and accessibility for all participants.
The Heart of the Initiative: Field Visits
Weekly visits help build trust, monitor progress, and mentor parents. This consistent support has been essential to the program’s success.
Expanding the Reach
Assessing 60 new families across the communities has helped the initiative expand its impact and continue making a positive difference.
Creating Lasting Change
By empowering parents and building stronger communities, the Family Literacy Initiative is creating lasting change.
Family Literacy Initiative (FLI)
Women Economic Empowerment Pilot
Report 2025
The FLI Women Economic Empowerment Initiative (FLIWEE) is a pilot program by WE-CARE Foundation that combines adult literacy training with interest-free microloans and vocational skills development to support low-income women caregivers in Liberia. In its 2025 pilot, 67 women across five communities received business loans or hands-on skills training in soap-making, handbag, and slipper production — with a remarkable 100% loan repayment rate. By strengthening women's financial capacity and literacy, the program aims to reduce household poverty and improve school enrollment and retention among children in the FLI program. Read More
