Literacy and Peace

 The theme of International Literacy Day 2012 is Literacy for Peace. This theme was adopted to demonstrate the multiple uses and value that literacy brings to people. 
Literacy contributes to peace as it brings people closer to attaining individual freedoms and better understanding the world, as well as preventing or resolving conflict. The connection between literacy and peace can be seen by the fact that in unstable democracies or in conflict-affected countries it is harder to establish or sustain a literate environment.
In Ndhiwa district, all roads led to Kobodo division from where various community resource centre trainees, trainers, chiefs, departmental representatives and all the other developments partners came with the same message of literacy and development. Ndhiwa Maarifa centre was among the institutions that were present in the district in terms of adult service delivery.
