Reading Initiatives
Reading Days
You too can make a difference.
In the same spirit of supporting children to read, and have access to beautiful books, enjuba has embarked on conducting reading days in disadvantaged schools across the country.
Through this initiative, we are giving everyone an opportunity to participate in gifting children in these places with books and or coming along to read with them. Each book is just 10,000 shillings.
We have so far done this in Kaabong, Luuka, Masindi, Pakwach, Gulu, Lira, Bulissa, Nebbi, Ntungamo and the refugee schools in Kyaka II, Kiryandongo and Kyangwali.

Reading Camp
enjuba Offices in Bukoto
In the effort to create a reading culture and support parents with this, we have created a Reading Space in Bukoto, to enable children ages 3-13 to come in and enjoy reading with others.
This is also an opportunity for children from different schools to interact and make friendships that will last. Read about our last Reading Camp here
National DEAR Day
Happens in Schools
In an effort to promote a reading culture and love of learning on a national scale in Uganda, enjuba, in collaboration with Peace Corps, Uganda and the Ministry of Education has come together to designate a specific day and time, where everyone in schools, communities, and organizations across Uganda drop everything to read. This is March 15th at 11 am every year.
Many schools have gone ahead to create DEARTime on their school timetables making reading a weekly activity for every child in their school. Email us to learn more
