Independent/Joint project with Uuve Sauga Action for Women's Literacy Our goal is to eradicate women’s illiteracy within the next twenty years. Our approach combines the power of women’s networks with the power of technology to mobilize large numbers of women as donors and advocates. At RDVP we are creating a first version of an Internet based forum intended to link donors with beneficiaries and serve as an anchor for an expanded international community of literacy supporters.
