Changing Lives Through Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education
40% of children worldwide do not have access to education in a language they speak or understand*
International Network for Development exists to change that.
We work with minority language communities to develop and support Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education (MTB MLE) projects . In partnership with organisations on the ground INfD has the privilege of supporting three programmers - two in India and one in Tanzania.
