Why does ReadInternational do

this?• Gaining an education is a vital step towards a

future free from poverty.

• A demand for textbooks in East Africa

Tanzania follows a secondary school syllabus

almost identical to the UK. As a result, an

average pupil to text book ratio is 5 to 1.

Students do not have the resources they need

to achieve their full potential through the

power of education.

AhmadiRead International supports people such as Ahmadi whose 18

from Tunduru Secondary School. He has big dreams and high

ambitions for a brighter future and with everyone's help then

we can provide people like Ahmadi with a better education.
