Welcome Together We Learn to Connecting for Education

Together We Learn has joined our website.

What do they provide:

School Linking - We invite schools to join us in changing lives through education by engaging young people to learn more about the world around them. A school link is a sustainable partnership between your school and a school in Ethiopia. Each link is a way of developing understanding between international schools, and Together We Learn works to support and sustain collaboration between teachers and students involved.

Donkey Library - Our donkey libraries give children in rural areas access to books during library visits. A donkey library is a donkey that has been equipped with safe harness to transport books to form a mobile library. A trained donkey librarian travels with the donkey to schools in rural areas where they lend books to children to support their learning and to teachers to enhance their lessons.

Improving Literacy through Phonics - As part of our mission to improve access to quality education in Ethiopia, we work with teachers at state schools to help them deliver more effective lessons. As part of this, our Early Years English Literacy programme trains primary school teachers in the phonics approach – teaching children the sounds of English. Using songs and games to start children sounding out words, the phonics method has a significant impact on their reading age.
