In our ALE program, we dwell much on teaching the batwa basic literacy skills such as reading, writing, calculations to make them know the economics of record keeping when they are trading with others.
The batwa are taught in their local languages and in this program, we include the non batwa adults who also did not get chance of going to school so that they can also learn how to read and writing.
