World Literacy Day

For World Literacy Day last year, we collected over a thousand books from the generous residents of New Muthaiga, Nairobi. These books were distributed to children in Machakos and Kisaju. We have already started collecting for this year's book drive, so call 0726 67 39 31 to get your donations in.

SS Secondary School, Kisaju (8th September)














Kithangaini Primary and Secondary Schools, Machakos (15th September):








Please be a part of this year's literacy campaign and donate as many books for children/young adults as you can.
Think of this not only as an opportunity to clean out your cupboards, but also to give the gift of joy and magic to a child.
