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."
Children Stories
"With the Lilipad books, I have improved my reading and speaking Arabic skills, and developed my creativity through drawing, colouring, and dancing."
Amira, 13 years old
"The Lilipad Librarian supports me with my school assignments and projects. For example, I had to prepare a report about a Moroccan personality for school. The librarian helped me, and I got the best grade."
Sanaa, 14 years old
"The workshops that the Lilipad Librarian Samira offer, including reading and handicrafts, have contributed greatly to my overall learning experience."
Kenza, 17 years old
*These testimonies were collected from our library at Centre de Sauvegarde de l’Enfance Abdeslam Bennani in Casablanca, Morocco.
Volunteer Stories
"The books in the library greatly foster children's creativity. They are inspired by drawings they see in the books, and always try to make their own version."
"The theatre workshop we organised fostered an immense feeling of pride for children, as they acted in front of their peers for the first time! They developed great confidence and simultaneously enhanced their social skills."
Nour, volunteer since May 2023.
"Children attending the library regularly show higher levels of self-confidence. While they are shy the first time they join the space, with time their voices become louder, and they express themselves more confidently."
Katharina, Workshop Facilitator since April 2023.
