Educate and teach children in Zambia to read

200 students from 10 schools in Mongu Western province are participating in our reading program.

The project’s initial success was funded by donations through Global Giving to the project. The funding made it possible to recruit schools to participate in the project, provide reading materials as well as cover teaching expenses for the staff.

Unfortunately the funding has run out and the project is yet to be fully funded this has meant, limiting the number of children admitted into the project and inevitably a reduction in teaching and reading materials.

To help address the challenge of funding we have designed a donor retention campaign aimed at attracting new donors to the project as well as encouraging previous donors to donate. It includes attracting the support of student groups to help raise the funds to implement the project to completion.

While the project has met with initial success, it is currently facing significant challenges as a result of funding constraints.

In moving forward, we are excited about the possibilities of the fundraising and donor retention campaign and encourage all of our donors to consider supporting our efforts to improve literacy among some of the world’s poorest by donating and encouraging their networks to support us as well.
