Other Services & Products offered by Publisher: |
Educating women makes a huge difference. Many experts believe it is the best way of spending aid money in the developing world. Simple information can make a massive difference to the lives of the poor if it is accessible. A consultation with partners from and in the developing world has resulted in a list of over 200 topics that are thought to be helpful to people trying to escape from poverty and ill health. These are the topics we are working to make into interactive lessons. The lessons are at very basic level and are targeted primarily at women and children who cannot read or write and have little opportunity for learning.
The topic list is divided into 8 sections: Health, Nutrition, Agriculture, Environment, Water/Sanitation, Community, Human Rights and Livelihoods, with a major focus on HIV and AIDS prevention.
