Redearth work in rural Ugandan schools, where up to 80% of children drop out before the end of primary school, largely due to their inability to read.

Our beautifully illustrated children's book “A Very Busy Day” is set in rural Uganda and has been written especially for us by Verna Wilkins in collaboration with local children.

The first 500 people to donate £10 or more, will receive a copy of the book as a gift. With each donation, we will send a further 2 books to Ugandan schools, so that more children will be encouraged to read by seeing relatable characters on the pages. All donations go towards training teachers in the teaching of reading and to encourage children to enjoy reading for pleasure. 

This would be a great gift for African children living abroad to have a story from their home continent and children interested in world culture.
