St Peter's Mumias did an amazing job reading aloud! When you want to hide something from an African, do not put it in a book anymore because we will definitely find it!

Something is cooking in Kitui County!
Recently, we met with 23 Heads of Institutions (HOIs), hosted by Curriculum Support Officer Usai Moki, to discuss and align on a proposed project to improve literacy outcomes in schools across the Voo zone.
Next year, we’ll visit the schools to assess their needs as we prepare for the next steps.
Stay tuned!

These little ones at St Michael’s Primary and Junior School are already dreaming big! In their poem, 'Elimu Huanza Chekechea', they sing about the careers they aspire to and where that journey begins.
We want those dreams to have room to grow. That's why we provided toys and fun reading materials for their ECDE reading corner, giving the children more ways to learn, play and discover new stories.
But there are still schools where children don't have enough books to explore beyond the classroom. Help us bring more libraries to schools and put more stories within children's reach.

The long holiday is here! Between screen-time battles and little explorers raiding the kitchen, how about bonding over a good story?

A little throwback!
Meet Madam Susan, HOI at St Anne’s, sharing what Library #328 means for her school.
We can’t wait to see the learners put it to use next year!

We hold close those who believe every child deserves the chance to read and thrive. 💜
Thank you to Sagar Malde and the Kanji Vaja Malde family for their continued support in bringing school libraries to more children, including our latest launches at St Anne’s and St Michael’s.
Yesterday marked a beautiful beginning of not one, but TWO new chapters! 🎊
St Anne’s Comprehensive School and St Michael’s Primary and Junior School now have new libraries, and the learners have a whole world of stories waiting to be discovered!
A big thank you to the Malde family for making these libraries possible and the Trufoods team for showing up and making the day extra special!

Meet Tr. Faith from Heshima Road Primary School. When she noticed some of her Grade 8 and 9 learners struggled to read, she introduced simpler storybooks during library sessions.
With fun activities and class-wide reading, the learners gradually gained confidence and improved their reading.
Faith’s story shows why teacher capacity building matters. When teachers can identify reading levels and choose the right books, they can better support every learner
Help us equip more teachers to make reading possible for every child. 💜give-usa.keela.co/start-a-li…

Child marriage is not a solution to economic hardship. A child should never be a bargaining tool.
This International Day of the Girl Child, we stand for the UN theme: "End child marriage and invest in girls' rights!"
Across Kenya, too many girls are pushed into adulthood before they are ready. At Start A Library Trust, we break this cycle. By keeping Kenyan girls reading and in school, we protect their childhood and empower their future.

The best books for Kenyan classrooms should be built with Kenyan teachers.
In September, teachers from seven partner schools helped shape SAL’s Foundational Literacy Ladder through practical book reviews and classroom insights.
As we prepare for our January 2027 pilot, every piece of feedback brings us closer to our goal: helping children become confident, independent readers.

And while they were busy having fun, they were also building vocabulary, thinking creatively, working together and growing in confidence.
As the quote says, 'What we learn with pleasure, we never forget.'
