We are extremely grateful to the entire team at Books2Africa for giving our Community Initiative the much needed support to move on and to open the minds of young ones to making reading a habit through spelling event, one of our various incentive-based enrichment activities. Even the children that didn’t win star prizes said they gained more confidence, built better vocabulary and are determined to be great spellers. All the children participated for the first time and would like to take part next time.

Impact

Borama Community Health Project, Somaliland

Most Health professionals do not have access to resources such as books once they graduate. This project offers individuals the opportunity to access reading materials for further development and up to date evidence based literature. This project is still in its infancy and with the help of Books2Africa it has taken off. The healthcare professionals especially Nurses and Midwives are routinely accessing the project to develop their
knowledge and understanding in their area of interest.

Impact

Hokifa Mobile Community Library, Togo

The books have actually impacted more than 1000 kids. Through the donation, schools can use our “mobile library” and are invited to come and read at the library in our headquarters. Our partner schools actually use the books in their curriculum to improve their students through the learning of English, which is an important language in the region because Togo is situated between two major English-speaking countries (Ghana and Nigeria). So the impact is not only the importance of the books in terms of their richness, but also the books are giving the students a new vocation and interest in a new language.

Ethiopia

Adama Secondary School, Ethiopia

The books were put in the library so the whole school community could use them. The school has around 4,000 grade 9 and 10 students and every year, the grade 10 students take national examinations. Therefore, the books meant a lot to the students. Although the curriculum is a bit different, the students are using the books in preparation for the national examinations and their teachers are also using the books as additional materials to their existing textbooks. The impact of this project is not only limited to educational purposes because it is also encouraging our students to help others.
