About Children’s Literacy Action Support
The Children’s Literacy Action Support- CLAS, is a Faith- based Non- profit Organization catering primarily to literacy needs of disadvantaged children, between the ages of 3 to 17 years. CLAS was started in 2006 in Marchand Boulevard, an economically depressed community with deep poverty and mounting crime. Our intervention seeks to disrupt a generational cycle of illiteracy, poverty and crime, if needs be, one life at a time.
