Building a Library

As we have provided scholarship to promote education, we came to realize that it is equally important to support literacy in the community. The Kuria district is home to about 50,000 residents and an estimated 30 schools but absolutely no libraries or other facilities in which children can freely access books or the internet. For the community's children to succeed academically, they need a place where they can study and learn.

Here is how to help:

• Goal: Our plan is to purchase land in the most populated area of the district, construct a facility, staff it with a librarian, and supply the books. We hope to work with the community to establish reading programs and support student research. The library will include a community meeting room with Internet access.

• How to Help: You can help by making donations and collecting books.  Another way to donate is for you and your children to bake brownies!  BakeryCakery, a division of LMEF, distributes all the materials and instructions you need to bake and sell brownies in your community.
