The Missionary of the Salesians of Don Bosco disclosed a plan to open village schools at Tore and Lasu in Yei Catholic Diocese to reduce illiteracy rate.
Fr Atini Paul said their visit to Yei was to see the centre where they will stay to implement their work, describing the project as very big, Easter Radio reported.
Fr Paul revealed that the village schools project already started in other dioceses including Tombura-Yambio, Tonj, Juba and that Yei diocese is the latest to get it started.
He said heavy rains will delay the starting of the project in Yei due to bad roads.
The Missionary said the project is expected to begin at the end of October.
