Turning old into new: Setting up a school library in an old classroom
Since July 2023, the approximately 500 pupils at Amani School in Usa River, Tanzania, have had a proper school library. The school renovated and repainted an old classroom that was no longer needed. PROBONO contributed shelves, tables, chairs, and many books to furnish the space.
Most children in Tanzania do not have books at home, and there are very few public libraries with children's and young adult literature throughout the country. This makes it all the more important for children to find books at school that motivate them to read, awaken their joy of reading, and thus strengthen their reading skills.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Dr. Hella and Dieter Siekermann Foundation and all other donors for their support of this project!
