We are currently funding over 30 primary school librarians, both men and women. This funding provides a job and a small monthly income. This is vital when unemployment in the area is around 40%. 19,000 children per month across the schools access books and the libraries provide a safe place to study. Over 3000 books are lent out each month. Our 2023 Year of Reading campaign aims to buy more books for our libraries.

We run bike clubs for girls. We have found that this builds their confidence as learners, gives them a recreational activity and builds fitness.
