About this program
Our Magic School Bus and Reading Rover truck brings books to 47 partner schools for book check-out. Imagine the joy of receiving a library card for the first time and bringing books home to read to your parents and siblings. As we bring new partner schools into the program, we meet with parents to share the benefits of reading and to engage them with books. Many come with toddlers to meetings and the little ones are equally excited to look at the colorful books.
“We appreciate the work that Kenya Connect is doing to improve literacy levels by providing our children with reading materials and we are also ready to engage and read aloud to them.”
