About us

ALEF has created a unique method for adult education. Learners aqcuire literacy and numeracy in participative study groups, and use the skills as tools to take control of their lives.

ALEF has a board of nine people. Our Secretary General, Project Manager, Education Coordinator and Administrator work at our office in Vällingby in Stockholm.

ALEF has collaborations in five countries: Congo Kinshasa, Togo, Benin, Ethiopia and Uganda. Our strategy is to build capacity in local organizations.

ALEF's Swedish newsletter with updates from the projects is mailed out once a month. At present we do not send out an English e-mail. If you would like us to send one, let us know.

Many people appreciate ALEF's method and our projects. Here are some quotes from a few of them.

Several foundations and businesses sponsor ALEF. We have some long-term partners and others who contribute for a specific purpose, like sponsoring a study group or a one off intervention.
