Children of Kibera Foundation helps to set up school libraries in Kibera so children will have access to books they enjoy reading: story books, novels, information books, the sort of book you would give a child or young person for their birthday or their Christmas. The idea is to help create a culture of reading by giving children access to books, therefore encouraging literacy and helping support school studies.
This month we received lots of novel, reference books and textbooks from the family of Nancy McNerney of the Potomac School where our founder Ken Okoth was a history teacher. Some of these books for younger readers went to a Ayany Primary School, a middle and elementary school. The rest will go to a Kibra Academy high school to begin their new library.
We are very grateful to Nancy McNerney and her family. The donated books will go along way in helping Children in Kibera. Thank you very much!
