Help Us Fill Empty Shelves — Books and Reading Mats for 3,500 Rural Learners<br /><br />Child First is a Malawian registered NGO with the Malawi Government supporting 5 rural primary schools in Lilongwe — Chitukula, Chimpumbulu, and Songwe with 3,500 learners.<br /><br />Today, these 3 schools have no library. No storybooks. No reading mats. Children sit on dusty floors to read a single shared textbook. Most have never owned or borrowed a book.<br />Our Request: Books and Chats (Reading Mats)We are requesting:<br /><br />Storybooks, Chichewa readers, and revision books for Standard 1-8 Reading mats / chats where children can sit together in reading circles, outside or inside the classroom<br /><br />What your donation will do:<br />1 Book = 20 children will read it in one term. It stays in the school for 3+ years.<br />1 Chat/Mat = 30 children can sit comfortably to read, do homework and join girls' reading clubs after school.<br /><br />This is not just about books. In our communities:<br />A book keeps a child in school instead of dropping out<br /><br />A reading mat creates a safe space where Mother Groups teach girls to read and stay confident<br /><br />Reading together builds teamwork, English, and imagination<br /><br />Goal: To establish small reading corners in all 3 schools so 3,500 children can finally say, "We have a library. "Please support us with books or a chat. A small gift puts a book in the hands of a child who has been waiting to read.
