- Mobilization of Adult Learners through Literacy Campaigns is a mobilization and motivation of adult learners enabled adult learners to participate in the provision and the development of Literacy, adult, and community education in Kenya. KALA uses this strategy to reach out to all enrolled and new learners in literacy classes using the concept of “each one, bring one”.
- Capacity Building empowers adult learners and literacy instructors to acquire leadership skills, for sustainable development. KALA trains learners and leaders in leadership, community development, counseling, and small-scale business management
- Information, Communication, and Networking are the lifeblood of KALA. They include activities designed to develop and strengthen an effective system capturing the elements of adult learners in Kenya.
- KALA’s Publications and newsletters are published under the title “Sauti ya Wanakisomo” (Learners’ Voices), which are written by adult learners in their respective mother tongues. The publications enable them to articulate their views on various aspects of adult and continuing education in a language they easily understand.
- Adult Learners’ Week is an avenue through which adult learners come together and express issues facing them. KALA has been organizing the annual event since 1998, by bringing adult learners together and formulating policies that govern their issues for presentation to the government for implementation
- Economic empowerment is an element that KALA uses to address social ills affecting society. Adult learners are equipped with financial literacy skills anchored on reducing pangs of poverty and social imbalance.
