We traditionally think about literacy as simply the ability to read and write. But, literacy comes in many forms including financial literacy, computer literacy, health literacy, and more. Peacework and our partners world-wide are developing and implementing programs to enhance global literacy and education from many perspectives.
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is in its 5th year of partnership with Peacework and the Ministry of Education in Belize providing financial literacy camps and workshops to thousands of students and teachers in Belize City.
Oklahoma State University is pioneering a long-term program with Peacework to enhance health literacy along with counseling and education.
Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business is conducting technology trainings for teachers and students in collaboration with Peacework and ITVET.
The University of Arkansas’ Walton College of Business, along with the Peacework Village Network, established a micro-loan program for education and a small-business development grant with the POWA women’s project in Hopkins.
