Our Mobile Children’s Library is now up and running!
We believe that books can give children a view of the world; through books, children can see the world beyond their immediate environment, and this can have a profound impact on their perception of the world and establish their sense of place in society. Hence, books should not be a luxury; every child deserves to have access to books irrespective of their socioeconomic status.
Children in our community have no access to reading books. So, this one of its kind mobile library is a beacon of opportunity, knowledge and hope, for children in our underserved community, aimed to unleash imaginations, facilitate adventures, spark curiosity, and foster a lifelong love for reading and learning.
The library is stocked with close to one thousand books, granting our community’s children access to a wide selection of children’s books. This summer, we are productively engaging children with a fun and exciting summer reading program and granting children of all ages access to a wide selection of children’s genres: fiction, nonfiction - story books, picture books, classics, and a broad selection of Nigerian authors, allowing us to Educate, Captivate and Inspire their young minds.
This is a dream come true for our organization and we couldn’t have achieved this without the generous support of our donors. Thank you for your generosity and continued support. This is an on-going project with recurring running costs. The shelves are currently just about half-full as only one side of the library truck is fully stocked with books and the other set of shelves are still empty. We still need close to one thousand more books to stock the library to full capacity, to enable us to reach more children.
Thank you!
