ReadingMatters Ethiopia

ReadingMatters Ethiopia

ReadingMatters Ethiopia  is a project devoted to developing mother-tongue Amharic reading skills in the children of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, through the free distribution of "The Big Buna Bash," a beautifully illustrated storybook in Amharic that celebrates the Ethiopian tradition of the buna coffee ceremony.

 

Ethiopian children want to read but don't have easy access to books, especially books with beautiful, colorful illustrations.  In Ethiopia libraries are few and limited to the compounds of schools.  These libraries are filled with textbooks, and storybooks are rare. 

 

Our goal is to print and distribute 1000 copies of "The Big Buna Bash"  in Amharic to be given to literate students in Addis Ababa from low-income families. The Ethiopian Ministry of Education and The Mother-Child Center will assist in locating these children and books will also be donated to organizations that work directly with needy children. 

Less than $1.00 prints one book for one child that might never have owned a storybook!
