Accra, Dec. 03, GNA-Care for Society Network International (CfSNI) a Non-Governmental Organization has marked World Children’s Day with the inauguration of its literacy initiative, the Yɛn Anidaso Club of Readers (YACoR), at Achimota Anglican Basic School in Accra.
In addition, 135 reading and learning materials have been donated to support the club’s activities and access to books.
Mrs Anita Amoako-Gyimah, executive director of the organisation said the gesture reinforced CfSNI commitment to strengthening literacy and promoting children’s rights and well-being
The YACoR, has been instituted to provide safe spaces for students to explore and learn and understand new words to enhance reading and literacy skills in schools.
She hoped the books would help inculcate reading habits in the students and improve their learning outcomes.
Madam Sally Esinam Kudiabor, headmistress of Achimota Anglican Basic School said literacy and empowerment were not privileges, rather a foundation of hope, creativity, and possibility.
She described the partnership with the organisation as a statement of a shared commitment to ensure every child was given the opportunity to thrive.
“Yɛn Anidaso” meaning “Our Hope Club of Readers”is one of CfSNI’s flagship programmes designed to nurture children’s love for reading, improve comprehension, and cultivate critical thinking skills, particularly in underserved and pre-urban communities. The programme aligns with the organisation’s work under SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality).
The organisation has so far provided over 2,500 reading and learning materials for its club members in rural and pre-urban communities and schools to support the reading club activities across the country this year.
Care for Society Network International is a nonprofit organization advancing literacy, empowerment, health awareness, and community development.
