Alfalit International, Inc. is a faith-based nonprofit organization founded in 1961 by Eulalia Cook, Justo and Luisa Gonzalez.

Alfalit offers programs in literacy, basic education, preschool, health, nutrition, and community development to the poorest  in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Portugal, and the United States.

Alfalit reaches very poor and remote areas where other groups hesitate to go. Alfalit strives to provide high-quality, cost-effective education with compassion and respect for the people for whom we work with.

Through our method of “Each One Teaches One”, our work is sustained in rural and urban area as one who learns to read and write is strongly encouraged to teach another .
