Start a Library is an initiative under Storymoja that aims to excite children about reading for pleasure by making books readily accessible to them.
ABOUT THIS PARTNERSHIP
The Nobelity Project and Storymoja are long-time partners, working together to fill libraries with storybooks and providing schools with vital literacy programming through their Start A Library initiative.
We knew our missions were aligned when Storymoja announced plans to separate from the initiative and Start A Library Trust registered as an independent non profit organization focused on establishing more libraries. More than storybooks, Start A Library Trust delivers a sustainable model to Kenyan schools to increase literacy and excite learners and their communities to read!
2023 PROGRESS
Two Library launches and a reading activation were done at Chuma Primary, Bingwa Secondary and Muthuni Primary. More than 750 learners and 21 teachers benefitted across the 3 schools. Grades are in! Students have had an 8pt increase on mean scores over the last 2 terms since partnering with Start A Library Trust! Read more (and see more!) of their findings.
2024 PROGRESS
A New Chapter for Embul-bul! January opened the new library at Embul-bul Primary School. The launch was beyond book donations. It was a celebration of hope, a commitment to fostering literacy, a tool to support learners unlock their full potential and the start of a lasting with the school. Thanks to Turk's birthday campaign, Kiserian Primary School library launch is scheduled for February.
