What's the issue?
- 2 out of 3 Honduran families live in extreme poverty.
- Books in Honduras are rare and expensive averaging $20 a piece.
- No children’s books in schools or homes.
- Lack of access to books leads to incredibly low reading abilities, and high drop-out rates.
How do books help?
- The most powerful and highest-impact way to improve reading achievement is to increase access to books.
- Through school and classroom libraries, Chispa provides a holistic program that trains teachers, parents and students to integrate literacy techniques in daily classes and home life.
What can I do?
- Donate today to give children their first library book.
- Your tax-deductible donation goes directly to purchasing brand new Spanish children’s books.
- We will inaugurate 8 new school libraries equipped with 500+ unique titles and comfortable reading spaces!
