I carried out a pilot project of my idea in December last year for a whole week. A total of 23 children came to engage in books and with others in an informal way. The response to hold successive events is encouraging and I am at the stage of looking for partners so we can grow the idea into a job creating initiative as well as promoting the reading culture in Kenya.

Problem

Most children, and even adults, in Kenya have a problem expressing themselves in any given language without mixing English, Swahili and their mother tongue. Their is need to make reading fun, in a way that will create an interest in school going children so they can carry the reading habit into adulthood.

Solution

We use movies and TV series created from books

Example

It is built on the belief that to make children stop engaging in watching too much television, reading has to be made fun.
