{{Imbuto Foundation’s 2014 Reading Day Campaign took place on June 6th in Nyagatare and Kayonza districts. }}
The theme is: ‘Today a reader, tomorrow a leader’. John Rutayisire of the Rwanda Education Board and Zaina Nyiramatama of the National Children’s Commission were the Guests of honour at Nyagatare and Kayonza respectively.
The Reading Day Campaign aims to promote a reading culture among young Rwandans. It is a social mobilization campaign also meant to raise awareness among teachers and parents on the importance of reading.
We involve teachers, parents, and the communities in this reading effort, so that they can support and encourage their children to read more young students.
Reading is FUNdamental it: expands knowledge, enhances memory, improves analytical skills and improves writing.
In 2011 Imbuto Foundation launched its Reading promotion campaign. Our Reading promotion campaign is part of the countrywide Rwanda Reads! Campaign.
In partnership with ONE UN, Imbuto Foundation has conducted Reading promotion campaigns in five districts in Rwanda: Gicumbi, Rubavu, Nyanza, Nyagatare, Gasabo and Nyarugenge.
Over 1000 primary school students and 1000 community members have participated in these campaigns.
