We believe we are stronger together, as our annual Next Chapter Campaign reaches out to friends of friends of friends to bring children their first book!
Thanks for being a great friend to the kids of Honduras and creating children’s libraries in 2020.
What's the issue?
- 2 out of 3 Honduran families live in extreme poverty.
- Books in Honduras are rare and expensive averaging $15 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 $50 today to sponsor 2 children to open their first library book.
- Your tax-deductible donation goes directly to purchasing brand new Spanish children’s books.
- We will inaugurate 10 new school libraries equipped with 500+ unique titles and comfortable reading spaces!
