Ethiopia Reads is a leading organization in Ethiopia that focuses on promoting literacy and education among children. Since its establishment in 2003, the organization has successfully opened 80 public, school, and mobile libraries, serving over 130,000 children annually. They have also trained 450 librarians and teachers and donated and distributed 500,000 Ethiopian and English language books to more than 350 schools across the country.
With a mission to collaborate with communities, Ethiopia Reads aims to plant libraries, train educators, boost literacy, and provide youth and families with the necessary tools to improve their lives. Their efforts go beyond just building libraries, as they also run a horse-powered literacy program in rural areas where children have no access to schools. Through workshops, mentoring, and program evaluation, Ethiopia Reads supports professional development year-round. As a pioneer in promoting literacy, the organization works closely with the Ethiopian Ministry of Education, National Archives and Library of Ethiopia, and international NGOs to address the issue of literacy in Ethiopia.
