Giving Vital Learning Materials
Kamitei believes access to suitable learning materials is crucial for fostering inclusive and effective learning environments. By supplying learning materials like books, Kamitei aims to close the gap between urban and rural schools, ensure equitable quality education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for everyone.
We know that better resourced schools make teaching more effective.
Global Stats:
“Children with more access to books can experience a 10-20% improvement in cognitive test scores.
In classrooms where every child has access to textbooks, students spend up to 50% more time engaged in learning activities compared to those without such access.
Providing books to rural schools can significantly reduce learning inequality and narrow the achievement gap between lower-income students and their peers by 30-40%.”

Although our focus is rural Tanzania, Kamitei advocates for both rural and urban educational institutions and programs to be adequately and equitably equipped with accurate reading materials.
