CAUSE II PROJECT TESTIMONIAL
People told him: "You're To Old To Learn To Read and Write".
But at 58-years-old, David Malefo proved them wrong.
Today, David can proudly read, write, and confidently participate in training programs through the CAUSE II Project.
What began as an 8-week literacy journey has now opened new doors through Redi4Waka training — rebuilding not just skills, but confidence, dignity, and hope.
Here's a brief chat we had with David this week.
