Promoting Akan Literacy Across Ghana
The Akan Literacy Development Foundation (ALDF) is a non-profit organisation established to promote sustainable literacy development in the Akan language across Ghana. Despite being the most widely spoken language in Ghana, Akan literacy remains limited — held back by inadequate teaching resources and a lack of culturally relevant materials. ALDF exists to bridge that gap.
