NGO inspires communities to love reading
International Needs Ghana, a Christian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), has ended a seven month reading and learning project to teach reading skills and literacy in poor communities.
The Reading Clinic, since its inception, has contributed to improving the reading skills of 1,150 persons in 11 communities, in eight districts across the country, translating into improved literacy and numeracy.
Mr Ben Awah, Programmes Assistant of the NGO, speaking in an interview with Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of a Reading Clinic in Agave Kuve, one of the benefitiary communities in the Volta Region, said, the closure of schools due to Covid-19, called for a renewed attitude towards reading as that was a sure way to enhance literacy.
