OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

The main goal of the project is to enrich the book collections of primary and secondary schools in the Sidama region of Ethiopia through valuable books donated by an international partner named Books For Africa (BFA) in order to develop and promote knowledge acquisition and learning.

This partnership project is an integral part of the community outreach program of the Hawassa University. Therefore, the Hawassa University, which has always been committed to community outreach service activities, hopes to reach particularly the rural communities where the primary and middle and high school students are located through this cooperative project in order to alleviate shortage of supplementary reading books.

Obviously, a well-organized school library and equipped with up-to-date information resources, that is, books in various fields of subjects, are one of the criteria for assessing the quality of each education system. For this reason, we plan to adopt a plan for Primary and secondary schools in rural areas located in the Sidama National Regional State of Ethiopia to provide sufficient updated book resources to enhance the abilities of girls and boys. It is apparent that, books provide students with opportunities to learn imagine new possibilities and independently shape their own future. The project aims to improve the quality of education, cultivate and maintain students' reading habits, and enrich students' intellectual, aesthetic, cultural and emotional growth.

Target beneficiaries are (girls/627,090 and boys/666,472) a total of 1,293,562 elementary, junior and high school students will be beneficiaries. They are located in Sidama National Regional State of Ethiopia.
