WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA) – Discussing the poverty that hinders millions of women to learn how to read and write, and the missionaries who reach these women through literacy classes to be able to tackle life’s hurdles.

“Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.”

While Gospel for Asia (GFA)-supported Sisters of Compassion don’t teach villagers how to fish, they do teach them something quite necessary to thrive in life: how to read and write.

For one mother, this old proverb stands true as the sisters’ lessons are satisfying her lifelong dream to learn to read and write.

Unfulfilled Dreams of Literacy

Habiba, 40, lives in a slum village with her husband, 10-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son. Growing up, Habiba had the desire to attend school and learn to read and write, but she never had the opportunity because of her family’s poverty. Still, it was a dream she clung to even after getting married.

When Habiba’s children were born, she desperately wanted them to receive an education. Unfortunately, her husband was also uneducated and, therefore, unable to teach the children, and school fees were too expensive for them to afford. Habiba grieved that her children would grow up illiterate like she did, but it seemed her dreams for their education were equally out of reach.
