Why are ITAV Libraries So Important?
ITAV is dedicated to ensuring that children have access to libraries that serve as vital bridges to closing the education gap. Our libraries provide equal access to education, promote literacy, encourage critical thinking and creativity, foster social skills and community engagement, and promote digital literacy. ITAV Libraries are not mere buildings filled with books; they are transformative spaces that empower children in developing countries to dream, learn, and create.

Raymond Mthepe, a Standard 7 learner at Namalimwe Primary, aspires to become a lecturer and excels in subjects like English and Social Studies. However, he struggled with mathematics, which hindered his dream. After joining a mentor program, Raymond received individualized help that boosted his confidence in mathematics and other subjects. The mentorship sessions also equipped him with essential life skills like leadership and critical thinking. Thanks to the program’s impact, Raymond transformed from an average student to a high performer, achieving 4th place out of 209 students in his class and significantly improving his mathematical skills.
