Pupils and staff at Agole Primary School in Amuru District have received books through African Revival’s work with Book Aid International, bringing new reading opportunities into the school.
The photograph of the delivery captures pupils and adults sharing some of the books. Each one offers a chance to discover a story, explore a new idea or practise reading with friends and teachers.
More than a delivery
Books are most valuable when children can reach for them, enjoy them and use them regularly. Teachers and school communities play an essential role in bringing a collection to life—whether through reading aloud, shared stories, classroom activities or the simple pleasure of choosing a book.
Access to engaging books is one part of supporting literacy. Appropriate teaching, time to practise and a welcoming learning environment matter too. African Revival works with schools to support these foundations and encourage a lasting reading culture.
Books for Jiro, too
Agole is one of the schools benefiting from this work. At Jiro Primary School in Koboko District, African Revival has also delivered books from Book Aid International. Photographs show children and adults exploring the books together—a reminder that a school reading culture grows through the involvement of the whole community.
Working together for literacy
We are grateful to Book Aid International for its contribution to getting books to schools, and to the teachers, pupils and supporters who help put them to use.
We hope to share more from Agole as we learn how the books are being used. We will report outcomes when there is evidence to support them rather than assuming that a delivery alone changes results.
