Just Be A Child - Library & Learning Centre

Organization information

Rotary Club of Stevenage Charitable Trust

Location: Puckeridge, United Kingdom

Summary

Stevenage Rotary is helping local Charity, Just Be A Child, with costs for a seventh library and learning centre in S. Kenya. There is a proven need - due to lack of facilities in these remote areas - and benefits not just children, but also their families. 40,000 books go on each shipment, and are shared with schools, hospitals, orphanages - eventually these are rotated, thus providing new books at each location. Schools report a marked increase in literacy skills since libraries have opened.
