Mirembe Words of Wisdom Reading Program helps boost the literacy rate of students in the Central Region of Uganda by offering a mobile library that delivers books.

After carefully guided conversations with local communities, we reached a collective decision on basic ways to improve education outcomes for the region. Fostering a Reading culture was a pathway we chose. The task was to build collaboration and partnerships wit local primary schools as well as the families and communities they serve. Our initiatives include: Reading ProgramWomen’s Health & WellnessChildren’s Garden & NutritionGeneral & Oral HygieneCommunity Building & Mental WellnessChildren’s Tree Planting Initiative

At the March School Meeting, students learned where some former reading materials of ours have traveled. A native Ugandan who has lived in the States for thirty years brought them to the central part of the country, near Mityana. She set up a mobile check out system and students from twelve schools are enjoying them immensely.
