the Children’s strategic ambition identifies 3 breakthroughs – ensuring that
every child survives, learns and is protected – that we will catalyse between
now and 2030. Reading is the cornerstone of learning and academic success. If
children leave primary school with a strong foundation of literacy
skills, they
will be ready for a lifetime of reading and learning. This will provide them
with the knowledge and inspiration they need to further improve their economic
competitiveness, health, civic engagement and quality of life.
Mureke
Dusome (which means ‘Let’s Read!’ in Kinyarwanda) is a 4-year USAID-funded
project that aims to foster partnerships between schools and the broader
community in a bid to improve literacy outcomes for children in primary grades
1-3. The project is being implemented by Save the Children in all 30 districts
of the country from January 2016 to January 2020. It also aims to foster strong
partnerships between schools, parents and communities to create a supportive
environment for children to read. In total, Mureke Dusome will benefit children
in over 2,500 primary school communities throughout Rwanda.
