Help plant a library at the Logiya Primary School in the Afar Region - home of Lucy!

A Logiya library could be a reality with your support!

Logiya is a town located in the Afar region of Ethiopia. A promising school in Logiya was selected to participate in a program that partners Ethiopia's Ministry of Education, USAID and Ethiopia Reads. With $10,000, a new library with books, shelving and librarian training will give children the chance to read!

Here are a few images of the school. Please read further down for a letter from the Afar Forum.

The adventure of the books

Kids in Ethiopia love their books.

They love to read about nature, adventure, animals, science, and everything in between. Most children in Ethiopia don't have books to read at home or school, but--thanks to recent generous donations to Ethiopia Reads--some lucky students now have libraries at their school where they can read and study many different books. They read, read, read until the books are worn out.
