Dynamic and stimulating literate environments at home, in the classroom, in the workplace and in the community are essential to literacy acquisition, development and lifelong use. But across Somalia there is a serious lack of reading materials.

Story

There is a serious drought of books in Somalia. Somalia is often called an oral society. Which means stories and wisdom is passed down by word of mouth and not in writing. We aim to transform our society into a literacy society. As, Muslims we are commanded to Read.Adados first public library will promote a culture of reading and maintain levels of literacy achieved through formal education and stimulate constructive critical attitude toward the solution of social problems.As well as serving as a knowledge and literacy centre, the public library will serve as an innovation hub for the community providing a creative space for young people to nurture and share ideas.With the land for the already property secured, thanks to our supporters, help us build the first public library in Adado, and create lasting change that will impact a whole community for generations to come.
