Who we are
Kaahini is a Children library initiative which focuses on giving children access to books. They are mostly from marginalised communities of Barpeta Town in Assam. Our organisation is dedicated to fostering a love for reading and lifelong learning in children. We offer a diverse collection of books that cater to various interests and reading levels, ensuring all children have access to quality literature. We implement programs and activities that enhance literacy skills, encourage educational development, and support school curricula. Our goal is to ensure the library is a welcoming space where children from all backgrounds feel safe, respected, and included. We host creative workshops, storytelling sessions, and interactive events that stimulate children's imaginations and critical thinking. Additionally, we collaborate with schools, parents, and local organisations to create a strong support network for children's educational and developmental needs.
Our work and its impact
Our library undertakes the following initiatives:
- - Promoting literacy and reading habits by organising story hours, reading programs, and book clubs to foster a love for reading among children.
- - Providing books and resources that reflect diverse cultures, languages, and experiences to promote inclusivity and understanding.
- - Partnering with local schools, community centres, and organisations to reach a broader audience and provide access to library resources.
- - Hosting activities and programs that teach children about sustainability, nature, and environmental responsibility.
- - Offering resources and space for creative activities like drawing, writing, and building, which help develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in children.
- - Conducting sessions for parents on the importance of reading, how to encourage literacy at home, and how to support their children's education.
How we will utilise these books
The Pratham Books storybooks that we receive through this fundraiser will allow children to borrow books to read at home, encouraging regular reading habits. Volunteers will read books aloud during storytelling sessions, promoting listening skills and a love for stories among children. Books will be used as resources for workshops, activities, and reading programs to enhance learning on various subjects. Group discussions about books will help children develop critical thinking, comprehension, and social skills. We will facilitate parent-child reading time at the library, fostering bonding and improving literacy skills. Additionally, bilingual and multilingual books will aid non-English-speaking children in language learning.
