Green Fuel has recently implemented the Happy Readers Literacy Program in three of its neighbouring primary schools in an attempt to improve the deteriorating literacy rates in young school children. The project provides the Happy Readers Learn-to-Read books and teachers’ resources, as well as teacher training and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
Happy Readers are in use in over 1,000 schools in Zimbabwe and implementation of the program has shown a 55% increase in Headline Literacy Rates.
