About Us
We are a dynamic and strategic organization dedicated to empowering and uplifting minority ethnic groups
Lite Georgia (Literacy Initiatives & Translation Enterprises) believes in enriching communities and sustaining ethnic identity through the development of the mother-tongue language by engaging with minority people groups in the areas of literature and literacy, thus fostering a greater sense of self-esteem, identity and value. Key to our efforts are partnerships with like-minded organizations throughout the region.
We engage in, amongst other things, research, setting up and development of effective mother tongue-based language and literature initiatives in minority languages. This entails providing them with the training needed to help them to develop a writing system for their own language. We also guide them in the development of various reading and writing instruction materials in their mother tongue. Along with this, indigenous authors are trained and further literature in the vernacular is developed, contributing to the corpus of literature in the mother tongue. We hereby ensure that provision is made for involvement in further language-planning activities as the need arises, such as education materials, dictionaries and other materials translated into the vernacular.
