Low literacy levels continues to be a learning pandemic in Kenya with most children unable to access quality early literacy interventions. With 1 in 6 children unable to read a single word according to the Uwezo 2016 study, the numbers are bound to have risen after the pandemic. This is where Watoto Wasome comes in. We are contributing to elevating children’s early literacy skills one letter sound at a time

The rising cost of living standards and poverty is having a direct impact on children’s literacy. This is why Kenya is facing a literacy pandemic – and it is hitting children from the lowest income communities the hardest. A child’s background shouldn’t limit where they end up in life. Please help us expand our impact and reach more underserved children to ensure they have an equal chance at succeeding in life.
