• Children from low-income communities may not be able to afford a lot of books. This negatively affects the children, as reading and literacy become luxuries they cannot afford. 

• This project will help build literacy skills and promote the passion for reading in children from low-income families. It will also help children with their literacy skills as they will become better readers, but also help them to become better storytellers.

TIPS FOR WHEN & WHERE

• Once a month, on the first Saturday of each month

• In a community centre

Suggested Action Plan

1. Find local community center and ask if you can set up a book drive once a month.

2. Create flyers to encourage people to bring their books.

3. Find volunteers to help distribute flyers, collect and distribute the books.

4. Find places to deliver the books to children in low-income neighborhoods such as community centers, schools etc. 

5.  Create a flyer letter families know that books are available for free for pick up at the chosen locations.
