We raise national awareness of the importance of reading
aloud and develop programs to implement this.
After 25 years of experience, we have developed the
knowledge and understanding of what approach has worked and what has not.
We have three goals:
1) To enable access to quality books for every child.
2) To improve teachers’ skills, knowledge, and attitude to
carry out long-term reading promotion programs.
3) To increase a student’s reading interest.
“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.”

We realise that just providing books will not make the
necessary changes. The books need to be of high quality and tailored to the age
group of the children. But most importantly, there needs to be proper training
and support for the teachers and academic staff to improve reading
comprehension skills and increase the children’s reading interest. Only when
all three goals are achieved will children pick up any book and read unassisted
with pleasure.
We are dedicated to seeing the next generation grow up with
fundamental reading skills that will open doors of possibilities and create a
better society. This dedication requires a long-term vision and partners who
will work alongside us to promote and realise this dream. Together we can
change the country one classroom at a time. Every child counts, and every
little bit of support will help us realise this!
Today we can start seeing tangible improvements in the
schools that have participated in our programs. We are ready to get more
schools involved and need your help and support to achieve this.
If you are as inspired as us to make fundamental changes
for the next generation of children, please consider donating and/or spreading
more awareness.
