Provincial and Federal support is limited. Where support exists, many programs cannot meet enormous community needs. Our materials and training produce effective, almost immediate, tangible success.
Our partners often find the issue of illiteracy so overwhelming that they don't know if or how they can ever conquer it. Our training procedures enable our communities to successfully work with what are often limited resources. Our materials and training are very user friendly for literacy program volunteers with more limited educational backgrounds.
Our materials are highly inclusive of new Canadian and aboriginal children in a way that is ethical, sensitive and empowering.
Our partners feel disenfranchised from funding opportunities and opportunities for creating a voice for their needs. The ELF provides guidance in the areas of fundraising and support in making their needs known.
