Help Us Fill Empty Shelves — Books and Reading Mats for 3,500 Rural Learners. 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. 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.Our Request: Books and Chats (Reading Mats)We are requesting: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 classroomWhat your donation will do:1 Book = 20 children will read it in one term. It stays in the school for 3+ years.1 Chat/Mat = 30 children can sit comfortably to read, do homework and join girls' reading clubs after school.This is not just about books. In our communities:A book keeps a child in school instead of dropping outA reading mat creates a safe space where Mother Groups teach girls to read and stay confidentReading together builds teamwork, English, and imaginationGoal: 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.
