| The
mission of this project is to stimulate children to adopt reading as a tool
of development and to support children to acquire a communication skill that
will make them competitive in their future markets. The agenda is to set up over 2000 reading cells in the 11 districts of the Western Region at the community level to deepen the quality of education that children receive. This project also has begun a data management system that will enable ORPED GHANA to track the development of the children at the community level so that dropout rates can reduce and girls can be monitored and mentored to stay in school instead of getting pregnant. In the long term this will help reduce poverty. The philosophy of this project is that at least every hundred children must belong to reading cell and a community volunteer overseas a Reading Cell. This project piloted at Mpohor in the Mpohor Wassa West District and now being replicated at Beahu in the Ahanta West District . A reading cell begins with capacity building of the children and community volunteers and a minimum of 15 books and a week's newspaper. |
