January 2009 has seen some major changes. Our original community partners, Work for Food (WFF), were unable to find sustainability for the centre after Safaricom funding finished in January, so Kawangware is now operated in partnership with Dagoretti Empowerment Centre, who also manage the building where the library is now housed. DEC have agreed to pay the rent, power and staff for an initial period of 4 years! WFF will still have a representative in the new library committee who will administer the library, and 3 of their staff will still run the library. KLT will continue to support this centre as always!
Bookclub: Kawangware was the first KidsLibs centre to start up a bookclub in partnership with a nearby international school. Our partner school is Braeburn, and the club has been meeting since April 2008. The group has already had its first meeting for 2009 with Braeburn primary school. Read more about the club!
Wheelchair donation! (February 2008) We have been donated a new wheelchair by Church of the Latterday Saints! We hope that wheelchair- bound users will come to the library in their own chairs, and move to the library chair whilst they use the library!
