Our projects in 2023
Reading Hubs
This project aims to create six community reading hubs in rural
areas of the Lori region with low/no access to early years
educational provision. 80 children aged three to five will be
engaged in creatively facilitated reading hubs twice a week for four
hours; the hubs will develop their love of reading, socioemotional
skills, reading motivation and comprehension in a safe and child-
centred learning environment. In partnership withNorArar,an
educational charity specialising in literacy, we will recruit and train
six community reading facilitators with a passion for reading, to
deliver unique early years reading curriculum. The project
implementation will require the acquisition of books and the training
of local teachers/librarians.
Engage & Empower Project
Engage & Empower is a program of safe, fun and engaging after-
school clubs where children learn through experiences. The project
is targeting disadvantaged and remote schools that have previously
benefited from book donations and the Goris community centre. We
will provide the necessary supplies and local teachers to run a
variety of free after-school clubs: foreign language learning, arts
and crafts creations, science experiments or sports clubs.
We believe after-school clubs provide a space for children to
engage in situations where they put into practice core skills such as
critical thinking, public speaking and confidence building. This
project aims to empower rural children to think positively to
overcome obstacles and achieve their own goals.
A pilot club is already running in a small rural school in the Syunik
region where children attend the English language club. This is an
opportunity for 13 to 15 years old from the school to develop their
communication and organisational skills through discussions and
presentations.

One school library a month project

This project is driven by the necessity to close the educational gap between urban and rural areas of Armenia. We aim to create easy access to books in disadvantaged schools in an effort to support literacy skills building and engage children to develop their curiosity and critical thinking.

To achieve this goal, we have partnered with Teach for Armenia to identify schools in need of engaging library books. Each month, we work with a school community to provide a range of fiction and nonfiction books to boost their library stock.

With a £200 budget per school library per month, we can buy a stock of modern extracurricular books managed by a TeacherLeader. Together with the teachers, we handpick each book according to novelty, popularity and subject-based books complementing lessons.

We kickstarted the project this month with our first school library beneficiary:

Zangakatun Middle School and its 150 pupils in the Ararat region are about to receive book donations to replenish its library.
