Books and learning

Buy a book, educate a nation

One dollar puts an exercise book and a pencil in a child's hands. Many of our pupils share one book between three.

About this project

Why it matters

Exercise books, pencils, story books and revision books are the everyday tools of learning, yet many families in Kihuura cannot afford them. Children who have no book copy notes onto loose paper or share with classmates, and fall behind. Your gift buys exercise books and pencils for every pupil, story books for a class library so children can read for pleasure, and revision books so that P7 candidates prepare well for the Primary Leaving Examinations. Every purchase is recorded and shown on this page.

Your questions, answered

Giving starts with understanding.

How can I donate?

Use the official campaign link when it is available, or contact the school to discuss a pledge. The pledge form records your intention; it does not process a payment.

Can I donate clothes or school materials?

Yes, you can discuss an in-kind contribution with the school. Confirm current needs, sizes, quantities and delivery arrangements before sending items.

How can I follow progress?

Visit the school Updates page for published news. Ask the school for the budget, current milestones and responsible contact for a particular cause.

Can my organisation become a partner?

Visit the Partners page and contact the school to discuss the support you can offer. Partnership names and logos should be published only with agreement.

Can I support school fees?

Discuss the current need and period of support with the school. Eligibility and allocation should be confirmed by the school; children's private records are not published on this website.
