Out of last year implementation of piloting African storybook apps reader and maker app with children, teachers and libraries, we were able to reach 200 children and 30 books publish on the African storybook maker app. We worked with children in KNLS Kilifi branch and Silala and Mwaemba primary schools in Ganze under Move the Goalpost field schools.

 For Kilifi library we did hold reading and writing sessions on Saturdays since most of the children are available during weekends on Saturday in the afternoon and a 3-day writing and reading sessions during the school holiday. This year we are targeting to reach 150 children by holding reading and writing sessions during half term and school holidays to reach good number of children and consistence in the library.

 

As for the schools under MTG education program, this year we will work with the 3 last schools reaching 150 children. The schools include Makuhenga primary school, Bahati primary school and Matsangoni Primary school.

 

This year we are including Dzitsoni community library in the Piloting of ASB tools in Kilifi county. Dzitsoni serve 5 schools whose children access the library resources on regular basis. With the help of the librarian in charge Mr Ngala, we will reach the following school; Dzitsoni Primary school, Kisoeni Primary school, Bungu primary school, Dunguni primary school and Mtondani primary school.

This year we are looking forward for enjoyable reading and writing sessions and showcasing interesting stories that children will create.

Cultivating a reading culture in children is not only part of school activities. involving family in nurturing reading culture can promote learning outcomes in the long run.

 #READ4FOOD CHALLENGE is a weekly food award challenge participated by young learners from homes struggling to put food on the table from the effects of the pandemic.

 Children receive an award of food pack for the family at the end of every week after an assessment on books read during the challenge. 

Impact of #READ4FOOD Challenge

We have been able to creatively bring food to the families as well as keep children engaged and improve literacy levels while schools are closed.

 In the last #READ4FOOD Challenge, we worked with 10 children of age 8 to 15 years, providing a total 40 food packs in the 4 weeks and supported an average of 80 household members in 10 households.
