Literacy Class
DHIMBA LITERACY PROJECT
A Bible translation is not, in the true sense of the word, fully finished if special care was not taken for people’s ability to read the newly translated Bible. The biggest part of the Dhimba-speaking people in both Namibia and Angola do not have access to the current written Bible due to their illiteracy. Although a solar-driven audio device makes it possible for people to listen to the Bible, a basic human need is still not met, namely people’s empowerment to be able to read and write.
The ability to read and write opens a whole new world for people in terms of their self-esteem and upliftment as a human being. By receiving the ability to read they can experience the Bible firsthand.
In 2022 we have started with the Dhimba Literacy project. The project has a coordinator, a supervisor and monitors. It is based in the Opuwo, Ruacana area, into south-western Angola
Literacy teachers are once a year equipped with the necessary training after which literacy classes start, for a period of 6 months. Graduation then takes place of the new readers whose skills are developed in post literacy classes.
