What our partners are saying about Lilipad

Moses (Uganda)

Director, Tukolaganhe Foundation

“Lilipad’s impact on our community is such a wonderful contribution, that through their efforts, love, and dedication, our community members have now started to love reading books (…). The children that have been using our library have improved in their academic performance. The teachers have access to study books that are used for reference in their teaching in class. The library has also attracted the neighbouring communities to come and borrow or read these books.”

Katya (Germany)

Social Worker, Stephanus Stiftung

“As some of the kids keep on asking ‘when Lilipad is coming back?’, there seems to be an impact on these kids! Showing the parents how to have fun with books and giving them at the same time access to bilingual books for children is a huge impact, that I see in my community.”

Laurie (France)

Associate Director, RésidSocial

"The Lilipad libraries have allowed the children in our residences to have easy and free access to books of all kinds. Lilipad has facilitated access to reading for the children and created interest in this activity. Moreover, the reading workshops created around the libraries are a motor for meeting, exchanging and sharing books."
