International Literacy Day: How Dewdrop Institute Turns Literacy into Livelihoods
Happy International Literacy Day! In 2025 the focus is clear: literacy now means more than reading and writing—it’s the skillset to find, judge, and use information in a digital world. While the global youth literacy rate has reached 93%, progress is uneven and 739 million adults still lack basic literacy skills. The digital divide is real too: 93% of people in high-income countries used the internet in 2024, compared with 27% in low-income countries—and only 9% of 15-year-olds in OECD countries could reliably tell fact from opinion in digital texts.
At Dewdrop Institute (DDI), we see literacy as a tool needed to care for people professionally, to serve guests with excellence, and to grow businesses through vocational skills training. That’s why our training blends foundation skills (reading, writing, numeracy) with workplace and digital literacy across Professional Care Services (PCS), Hospitality, and Corporate Support.
Our Mission & Vision: why we exist
Our mission is to empower youths and mature adults through professional skills training programs and by promoting the Institute’s core value of making a “refreshing change” in the lives of individuals and in our local communities. And our vision is to raise a new breed of highly skilled and efficient professional workforce for Homes, Health & Social Care, and the Hospitality Industry.
These aren’t just words. They shape how we teach, assess, and support learners every day in Enugu and Abuja—with clear standards, practical learning, and compassionate professionalism.
How DDI promotes literacy that leads to jobs
1. Read, write, count—then apply
From PCS documentation and safeguarding records to front-office logs, F&B standards, event checklists, and inventory, we turn classroom literacy into job-ready routines. Learners practice real forms, real reports, and real customer interactions—so literacy becomes service quality and career confidence.
2. Digital literacy by design
International Literacy Day emphasizes safe, critical engagement with digital tools. Our course delivery includes guided use of digital materials and structured tasks that build information judgement and responsible online practice—habits employers now expect.
3. Inclusive, confidence-building teaching
Being “in school” isn’t the same as reaching proficiency; too many learners still fall short. We keep language clear, demonstrate step-by-step, and use feedback to help learners cross the line from trying to competent, especially in practical drills.
What you can study
Professional Care Services (PCS): caregiving principles, hygiene, communication, safeguarding, and internship pathways.
Hospitality (Global & Short Courses): food & beverage, front office, housekeeping, events/protocol, tour & exhibition guide, conference executive—and more. You can take the full program or start module-by-module and stack into larger credentials over time.
Corporate Support: practical office skills including business communication and customer service—built for immediate workplace use.
Payment plans are available— you can speak to Admin to see options that fit your budget.

Why this matters—today
ILD 2025 reminds us that even as access grows, many learners still don’t reach minimum proficiency (only 58% of primary students meet the reading benchmark globally), and millions remain out of school. In this context, a training path that converts literacy into hands-on competence and employability is not just helpful—it’s essential.
At DDI, standards are our unique selling point—but people are our purpose. We’re here so that youths and adults in Enugu and Abuja can gain skills, dignity, and income, whether as outstanding employees or confident entrepreneurs.
