Impact Summary

The books not only increased the educational standard in the individual schools, but on a community wide scale. These books will not only help over 35,000 students immediately but thousands more in the next few years. One university said that it will help in research and have an impact on a national scale.

Impact Report

Life for Relief and Development distributed these books to 9 primary schools, 15 secondary schools, and 8 tertiary institutions in need of books. Without the proper educational materials, educators noted that it was near to impossible to instruct students and keep them engaged.

These books allowed schools to create libraries and helped educators develop new lesson plans. Over 35,000 students immediately benefited from these books, but thousands more will benefit in near future. LIFE is so grateful to be able to assist these student and educators in need.

One university said that the books have been added to their library that aids students and lecturers. They said it enhances the educational standard for the university and the nation at large. A secondary school said that the science books in particular has been incredibly useful in making the material understandable to the students. The same school shared that previously some students were refusing to complete assignments due to the lack of materials and would consequently just roam around. Now you can see these students focused on their school work and problem solving. A different secondary school said that the books will contribute greatly to the reading and learning abilities of the students. The books allowed another secondary school to open a library for its students and they are incredibly grateful for this. A Calabatown secondary school said that this donation allowed them to complete their standard library and that their teachers understanding of their subjects, especially in science, has greatly improved and they can now teach more effectively.

The books not only increased the educational standard in the individual schools, but on a community wide scale. These books will not only help over 35,000 students immediately but thousands more in the next few years. One university said that it will help in research and have an impact on a national scale.
