The workshop is organized to support the project GIRLS OF JERICHO, a sustainable network of libraries for children in the slums of Nairobi.
Jericho is a slum in Nairobi, this is the Jericho Primary School, a primary school attended by children from various slums nearby. Meeting every day for several months some of the boys and girls who attend, there was a strong desire on their part and their families to have access to books, or you can read fairy tales. Primary education is free in Kenya, however, the costs for uniforms, books and school equipment are often unbearable for the families and where they are incurred, can not buy books to read. These daily meetings were the stimulus to give rise to a sustainable network of libraries in schools in the slums of Nairobi. The first school selected to receive the first of a series of libraries is the sustainable Jericho Primary School.
