Rural Literacy Solutions is a community-based organization in Tamale, Northern Region Ghana. It is non-compulsory, extra-curricula education. This community-based organization is a practical response to the diagnosed high rate of illiteracy in Ghana, especially the rural areas of the northern part of the country. It is also a contribution towards the realization of Sustainable Development Goals, precisely Goal 4, which is to “ENSURE INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE QUALITY EDUCATION AND PROMOTE LIFE-LONG LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.”

The causes of the high illiteracy rate among other things include factors such as a teacher deficit, lack of infrastructure, and lack of appreciation for literacy.

Currently, Rural Literacy Solutions is running a reading clinic with basic schools in rural societies in the Northern Part of Ghana. This reading clinic is formed to help rural students gain adequate literacy skills and to increase the opportunity to learn. Our task is to equip basic school students in rural communities with the ability to read, write, and to compute.
