As well our 2 beautiful community libraries, we provide books to all of our partner schools. Rotational book boxes, with a range of books to support learning, plus support from our trained librarians (who are also qualified teachers) to help schools make great use of them.
It's a small part of our education programme, and one that makes a big difference. When children have access to books, they gain more than literacy. They gain hope, confidence, and the freedom to imagine a different future.
Grateful to work in partnership Book Aid InternationalionalGhana School Aid UKid UK to make this work happen.
Reading can and will take them everywhere-Action Through Enterprise - ATE is helping to make that possible!
I can't imagine life without books! Grateful to be able to enable these children to enjoy them.
Today mums, dads, grandparents and disabled children gathered under the mango trees in Basebele for a historic moment – the first ever meeting of our newest SNAP group. In a place where disability can be seen as a curse, the fantastic turn out – 23 children and 65 adults – was a real statement of how life can change for the better.
This is our 9th SNAP Group. We reach nearly 900 people each month, making a profound difference to the lives of disabled children and their families.
“As a grandmother caring for my granddaughter, I worry a lot about her future. Today I feel very happy seeing this program come to Basebele. I hope it will help her develop her abilities and live a confident and happy life.” Helen (in the top picture)
