Project Report | Feb 2, 2026
Books in Hand, Learning in Motion

By Nancy Carre' | Grants Manager

This year, students at Genanaw Kerse Memorial School received much-needed textbooks, giving them consistent access to reading and lesson materials for the first time. The books are already making a visible difference in classrooms. Students follow along together, reread lessons during free moments, and carefully share materials so that everyone can participate.

Even with limited resources, children show real enthusiasm for reading. Books are treated with care, passed between classmates, and used again and again. Teachers report that having textbooks has improved lesson flow and student focus, allowing learning time to be used more effectively.

Donations for this project have been limited, but every contribution has mattered. The children are accustomed to making the most of what they have, and they meet these challenges with resilience, cooperation, and determination to learn. Still, the need for additional textbooks remains, as many students must share, and some classes do not yet have enough books for every child.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make textbook access possible this year. Continued support will allow us to expand book access, reduce sharing gaps, and strengthen reading skills for more students in the coming year
