WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA World and affiliates like Gospel for Asia Canada) founded by Dr. K.P. Yohannan – Discussing the struggles of women like Preshti who grew up illiterate, and the literacy classes by Gospel for Asia missionaries that opened business opportunities for women.

Was this the bus Preshti needed? Or was it that one? Visiting her mother in another city always proved to be a challenge for the 45-year-old mother of four. She couldn’t read the signs.

Growing Up Illiterate

Preshti was among the two-thirds of women in her area who are illiterate. Growing up, Preshti was not able to attend school because of her parents’ poverty. As the eldest, Preshti took care of her siblings and the home while her parents worked. The money they made put Presthi’s younger siblings through school. For Preshti, school seemed out of reach, and she carried this belief into her adult years.

After she met and married her husband, Preshti realized just how important literacy was. She struggled to read street signs, pay bills, board the correct bus, check her earnings and count the change she received at the market. Many times, she used her fingerprint to sign legal documents she couldn’t even read.
