The existing political, economic, commercial, social, security, education, international organisations, media, agriculture, tourism, foreign affairs, infrastructural development,  scientific and technological among others  cannot be  comprehend in an environment where illiteracy is very high.
It is against this backdrop that Future of Sukuta under its energetic project called “Nyo-Kunindi Kafo” had organised an adult literacy class for fifty women of Sukuta village in Kombo North, West Coast Region.
 The rate of illiteracy is still high in the world especially in sub-Saharan Africa.  It is a major concern to the world as it is one of the factors that had hindered the advancement and progress of the third worlds’ economy.
The numerous emigrants from Africa, the frequent political upheavals we are facing,  the insufficient availability  of food  to feed the population, rampant corruptions in third world countries and bad governance  all over is a clear demonstration of the level of illiteracy we have in third world countries.
Third world countries where illiteracy tempo of the inhabitants is low, people are industrious; they appreciate their primary human rights and business minded but contra to those countries where illiteracy is still elevated.
 Look at countries like Senegal, Ghana, Egypt, Nigeria, Malaysia, Cuba and the Middle East, literacy is not all about reading and writing it is as well about having admission to political, economic and cultural opportunities.
Youth are often criticised of being careless, less productive, and unpatriotic and need to change their attitudes positively and support all the efforts of the government.
All these are tied to high rate of illiteracy in the country and the way we perceived things. It will still take some years before total positive change of the minds of youth can be absolutely achieved and those days will also witness other attitudes which will also be completely different from the ones we are feeling.     
When literacy is high in a nation it will enable the people to understand their political rights where they will articulate their political wishes  liberally without fear, favour or ill will, social rights, human and people’s rights, understand foreign affairs, global labour laws and various laws that are touching them  mistakenly.
In analysis to this, Future of Sukuta under its august project of Nyo- Kunindi Kafo is organising yet another momentous curriculum for its members which is another enormous step in the countrywide growth.
This fundamental venture had been developing the women of Sukuta in various development areas.
 Lamin Daffeh, the development planner of Future of Sukuta, in a chat with Education In-depth said that his organisation is involved many activities saying that they trained women on soap making, tie and dye, malaria and tuberculosis prevention and sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/SIDS.
The Secretary General of Future of Sukuta Mr. Abass Cham also told In-depth that their recently ended training with the women was a successful one describing it as educative, impressive and interesting.
 He however stated that the unfortunate part of the training was that the documents of The Gambia women’s Federation are written in English in which the larger percentage of women cannot read thus prompting them to organise the classes for the women.  
Binta Jaiteh, a  board member who doubles as a teacher at  the Sukuta lower basic school and an English teacher  at the adult literacy class,  informed the  in- depth that their focal point is to help the fifty women to be able to read and write as well as  to do  simple arithmethics. According to Mrs. Jaiteh during the course of the training they will introduce those sounds of letters and writing in jolly phonics and blend them for writing.
Binta stated that they will focus on two to three letter words as beginners and would then move to the complex ones as they understand the lessons.
She further said her students are fascinated to be part of the program despite it is the rainy season couple with the holy month of Ramadan.
The turnout was good which about 98% she said.   
‘’They had started the class with English language and then mathematics, as the saying goes when you educate a woman you educate a nation,” she said.  
 We would want to encourage all including the GRTS to visit Nyo-kunindi Kafo of Sukuta so that others can emulate their wonderful educative programs as well as both the Higher and Basic Education ministries and women organisations in the country in particular can see how these women of   Sukuta are moving away from the world of illiteracy.
Binta Jammeh a middle age woman and a beneficiary to the program who is delighted with the training advised her colleagues to take the classes seriously.  
 She also solicits  support from philanthropists  including president Jammeh.
