SDK Deru (a Catholic private primary school) is one of 114 partner schools of Taman Bacaan Pelangi (TBP) in Nagekeo District, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Since 2022, the school has run a child-friendly library program in partnership with TBP, giving more than 100 students each year access to quality books and a love of reading. On 19 December 2025, tragedy struck when a fire destroyed the school library along with every book inside it. For students who had grown used to reading, borrowing, and dreaming through books, this loss was deeply felt. Today, they urgently need new, high-quality books so their learning journey can continue.

Giddy2School works across underserved communities in Nigeria and Uganda, where many children and young people grow up without reliable access to education, books, digital tools, or safe learning spaces. Poverty, displacement, insecurity, and weak infrastructure often interrupt schooling or place it completely out of reach. Yet these communities are rich in potential, with curious children and resilient youth eager to learn when given access and opportunity. Founded to reduce school dropouts and expand access to quality learning, Giddy2School creates practical, inclusive pathways into literacy, education, digital skills, and self-reliance. Working closely with children, young people, and community educators, the organisation delivers community-based learning that is scalable and grounded in the realities of low-resource environments, with a strong focus on out-of-school children, informal settlements, and marginalised communities.

Access to non-fiction books will help our youth improve their professional skills, expand their knowledge, and build practical understanding that supports education, employment, and personal development.
