Literacy Program

Objective

The Free To Be Kids (FTBK) runs a Literacy Program for Women in the community with the aim of empowering them through education. This program helps women learn to read and write in Bengali, enabling them to handle their daily lives with greater confidence and independence. By gaining literacy skills, they are better equipped to care for themselves and their families, manage household responsibilities, and participate more actively in their children’s education. Beyond learning, the program also creates a warm and supportive environment where women come together, share experiences, and build strong bonds of friendship. It serves as a safe and encouraging space for personal growth, mutual encouragement, and collective empowerment—helping each participant move towards a more self-reliant and dignified future.
