Impact Summary

Because of the rural location of our school and community and the fact that we currently have no mains power, our teachers had nowhere to source ideas or knowledge from before the library was opened. Having the access to the books has made them become much keener in planning their lessons. They are discovering new and exciting ways to teach and impart knowledge. And they themselves are learning in the process of teaching.

Impact Report

Books are useful for a number of reasons:

  1. Access to picture books/story books for our Early Childhood pupils (aged 3
    to 6) broadens their horizons and encourages a love of reading.
  2. Access to books improves our teachers knowledge and gives them new
    teaching ideas.
  3. Access to books helps pupils from all the nearby schools. They have no
    libraries and come from homes that have no books. Having a community
    library helps them in the school work, in studying for exams as well as
    reading for pleasure.
  4. The books are beneficial for the entire community, as they are in a
    community library, they can be used by anyone.
  5. They help with lessons in our study centre, where we have adult literacy
    classes and tuitions for the entire community.

The library and study centre has become a community hub where young and old come together to learn, to teach and to interact as well as to enjoy the pleasure of reading. There are welcoming spaces to read as well as study and everyone is welcome.
