Charity Partner

Your support in July 2025 has enabled us to partner with EduSpots to transform learning for 3,000 children in rural Ghana. Together, we’re breaking down barriers to education by providing African storybooks that reflect their culture and inspire a lifelong love of reading.

In rural Ghana, access to books is extremely limited, with many students learning to read solely from chalkboards. Research shows that African fiction books are not only the most requested but also the most impactful for improving literacy. This project has supplied libraries in 10 underserved communities with locally purchased books by African authors, creating opportunities for children to learn, imagine, and engage in their education.

Through literacy clubs and mentorship, students are developing critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills while improving their literacy abilities. These books are more than resources. They are tools for empowerment, creating better educational outcomes and brighter futures for thousands of young people.

Thank you for helping us equip 3,000 children with the power of reading and learning, creating lasting change in their lives and communities.

EduSpots addresses the lack of access to quality education and educational resources for children and young people in underserved communities in rural Ghana and Kenya. The organisation facilitates a dynamic network of locally rooted voluntary changemakers, enabling them to collaborate in creating the futures they envision for their communities through education. To achieve this mission, EduSpots connects, trains, and equips over 400 local voluntary community educators, known as ‘Catalysts’—a group comprising teachers, students, and community members—to lead community-driven change through a network of 50 innovative library hubs called ‘Spots’. Catalysts benefit from a wide range of training and collaboration opportunities delivered in person, online, and via the EduSpots app and tablets. These resources equip them with the educational, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills required to drive sustainable change.
