Education for All Somalia "EFASOM" celebrated the International Literacy Day 2014 on September 8, 2014 by organizing a radio discussion forum. More than 4 different local FM radios in Mogadishu aired the discussion sessions. "Literacy and Sustainable Development" was the theme of the year 2014 and we strategically reached more audience than before.

The purpose of the event was to raise people's awareness of and concern for literacy issues and the importance of reading and writing. Because of its "multiplier effect", literacy helps eradicate poverty, reduce child mortality, curb population growth, achieve gender equality and ensure sustainable development, peace and democracy.

In general, Education for All Somalia "EFASOM" requested Somali educated people wherever they are to give a second chance to non-educated people. In particular, we request the Ministry of education, the education umbrellas, school headmasters, and all education stakeholders to collaborate in implementation of literacy for all with our mother language.
