THE BOOK DRIVE STORE

The Book Drive Store

The Read to Learn Foundation strives to create sustainable plans in its fight to enhance literacy levels in Uganda. And as such, we developed a number of literacy products that are sold to different tiers from families, to schools, NGOs and corporate companies. The profits garnered from store are then invested right back into making sure the Foundation community projects are smoothly running.

Our Products Include

1. Books

The Foundation publishes a series of authentically curated, African social cultural context story books designed to encourage learning. We have proven that if the books are amusing, relatable and written based on social scenarios that the children identify with, they will adopt a better reading culture at an early age.
