‘Read, Lead, Rise’

The African Literacy Project was started by Reverend C.B. Clayton, Sr.  It was the result of his love for the children of Africa, especially those who have been orphaned and presented with significant socio-economic challenges.

The African Literacy Project, exists to empower churches to transform communities through reading and leadership development. We equip pastors and ministry leaders to launch after-school reading programs for children, provide adult literacy training, and multiply trainers across churches and businesses—creating a sustainable model of education, outreach, and economic growth in South Africa’s townships.
