  • We do literacy in the in the Liberian languages  to teach people how to read and write their own languages
  • We do translation – taking the meaning of the text from the original language putting it into the receptor language exactly as it is in the original language.
  • We do scripture engagement – reaching people with the scripture through audio, video, and vernacular media
  • We do multilingual education – teaching children to begin learning in their languages they speak at home.
  • We train interested individuals to teach others how to read and write their own languages
  • We develop materials for reading and teaching purposes.
