Since inception, we have installed over 500 libraries, served over 20,000 children annually through our library programme. Over the past 18 years, we have trained over 30,000 parents and teachers through our award-winning “First Teachers Training” Programme. Our library programme includes recommendations curated by our literacy experts and our transformational training programme using evidence-based research to equip teachers, parents and caregivers with strategies and tools for reading aloud at school and at home. BMABHK brings together donors, authors and other likeminded organisations to serve children and families in kindergartens, primary schools, community centres and health clinics. We have collaborated with partners and trained volunteers to deliver quality storytelling workshops in the community.
