Children enjoying our books in IDP camp. These books are educational and also provide distraction and enterttainment.

Ethiopia Reads’ innovative work in Internally Displaced Persons camps in November 2021 was recently featured on the latest World Bank’s publication on Education for Development. With the financial support of the World Bank and assistance from the Ministry of Education, we distributed 45,000 Ready-Set-Go books* in three local languages — where there were none. We engaged 15,000 enthusiastic families with reading training and tips. However, there are millions more internally displaced children who need books!  In the words of one parent, “The biggest help we need from you is education for our children, because only an educated person can get to a better place”.  Children who are literate are able to continue their own education even if they are not in classrooms. Help us with this important and challenging work now and give the gift of reading. We would like to raise $50,000 to continue this urgent work in internally displaced persons camps. Please join us!
