Kenya embarked on a journey on 22nd of September this year: The world’s first collectively written book by a nation.
The goal is to raise Ksh 30 million in 90 days to build 100 libraries.
This will be a homegrown solution that will involve every Kenyan.
Led by Chela, Kenyans are urged to get their creative juices and words ready.
Chela is a ten-year-old girl who has taken it upon herself to collect stories for herself and the ten million children like her who don’t have access to libraries.
The campaign, dubbed #StoryForChela is spearheaded by “Start A Library”, an affiliate of Storymoja.
“Start A Library” is the first campaign hosted on the e-philanthropy platform, Yetu .
The Yetu initiative is backed by The Aga Khan Foundation, USAID and various other partners to facilitate communal giving and problem solving.
This campaign is poised to bring a nation together in contributing both money and words.
The writing begins at www.yetu.org/startalibrary. For as little as Sh. 10 you will be making history one word at a time. Write your story for Chela.
