Global English Learning (GEL)

Global English Learning (GEL) a life-changing collaboration between Vincentian Social Services and Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL).

Nestled in the remote tribal village of Nachivayal (Marayoor, Kerala), this program is breaking down barriers, bridging educational disparities, and opening doors to a world of opportunities for local youth.

📚 The GEL Program: A Global Standard

We bring internationally recognized language education directly to the community. Following the prestigious Cambridge English Unlimited curriculum, our structured courses cover 6 comprehensive levels (from beginners to advanced):

A1 ➔ A2 ➔ B1 ➔ B1+ ➔ B2 ➔ C1

Our holistic approach ensures students master all four core competencies:

• 🗣️ Speaking with confidence.

• 🎧 Listening with understanding.

• 📖 Reading with comprehension.

• ✍️ Writing with clarity.

🎉 Celebrating Our First Milestone!

Our inaugural cohort has officially graduated! 14 tribal youth (aged 15–20) successfully completed the rigorous 120-hour A2 level course.

• The Transformation: Many started with minimal English skills. Today, they are communicating with newfound confidence and pride.

• The Impact: This milestone proves that when given the right tools, inclusive, community-based education can change lives.
