Books For Gambia
Let's fill The Gambia with Children Books!

WHY THE GAMBIA AFRICA?

 

The Gambia, also known as “The Smiling Coast”, is the smallest country in West Africa. The Gambia has a 51% literacy rate and people face many challenges in their every day life. Our goal is to gather and ship as many children’s books as possible to be distributed to homes and families with small children.

WHY CHILDREN BOOKS?
 

The love for books needs to start early in a Child's life. Children need to grow up in homes where they are available for them to see, touch and read. It is a crucial stage in life to introduce them to literature by providing illustrated stories that will catch their attention and start a healthy and fun relationship with reading as early as infancy. With this project we intent to invest in future generations that will grow up with access to books, and read-aloud opportunities. 

 

There is so much research that attributes academic success to early literacy. For more information about the impact that Early Childhood has on adulthood, please visit the BLOG section.
