Small Libraries for Children

On January 18, ADRA STP received a 20 ft. container filled with educational and other child related materials.
Among those:
- 480 boxes of educational books and magazines.
- Several volumes of didactic materials
- 110 boxes with new sport shoes from the brand “Status”
The materials were donated through ADRA Portugal by families and private companies.
The major activity to achieve will be the creation and amelioration of small libraries in schools in the districts of Caué, Cantagalo and Pagué (Principe). All other materials will be distributed to child support institutions and Primary schools from the rural areas.
In 2004 ADRA STP, implemented a similar project establishing 4 small libraries in Sao Tomé and 2 in the Island of Principe. After more than two years, all 6 small libraries continue functioning and providing access to books to hundreds of children’s.
