The mission of Alfalit is to improve the quality of life and well-being of the people in the communities we serve. Consistent with our faith-based heritage, our directors, teachers and volunteers show their concern for the whole person. We go into very poor areas and countries where other groups hesitate to go. We provide high-quality, cost effective education with compassion and respect for the people with whom we work. Each country we work with has a director and a board from that country. It is their job to determine the needs and resources for their own programs. Each Alfalit center has a curriculum plan particular to that area, and through our methods of “Each One Teach One,” our work is sustained in the village as each person who learns to read and write is encouraged to teach another.
