Grow a Library: The Mojo Reading Room
The Mojo reading room is a small library, located in the Harare Region in eastern Ethiopia. It is the only library in the town. The library has been so busy that the community has provided a new, larger, building to house it. By adopting this library, we can help the community to refurbish their new space, build their collection of local language (Oromiffa) and English reading materials, provide professional support for teachers using the library, and help train local people in library management skills.
CODE works with local organizations throughout the developing world to empower children to learn. They deliver an essential, sustainable development solution that endures. CODE programs support libraries and teacher training as well as national and local book publishing in more than 17 languages in Africa and the Caribbean. “If you can read and write, you can learn to do, and be, anything.”
