Since 2014, WAF has been working in partnership with READ Internationalto set up reading libraries in schools across Mtwara andLindi, where WAF funds 100% of the project. Libraries are important in schools as they provide teachers and students with print and digital materials that offer opportunities to strengthen student learning. School library programs stimulate critical thinking, providing students with the skills they need to analyse, form, and communicate ideas. WAF’s Libraries for Secondary Schools program is implemented by a local Tanzanian legal registered non-government-organization called Realising Development Through Education (READ). Through this program WAF and READ aim at “improving the quality of education in Tanzania, with a clear focus to ensure the Government schools’ environment is conducive and supports learning and teaching.”
