All of our libraries and reading programs are done by Tanzanian university students whose capacities are built by professionals to do the projects. Students from schools in our targeted group get motivated and inspired by being together with University students during the implementation of the activities.

University students engaging in our programs are practically being empowered through giving back to the community and on job related skills where they practice communication skills, team work skills, project management, financial management and community driven approach for project success.

Through this project, University students are then supported to access jobs through internship programs at READ and to our partners. We also provide them with proper connection to available entrepreneurship opportunities through our partners and network.

Since 2015 to date, we have recruited over 613 University students in our projects, and for those who already got decent jobs (both self-employment and formal employment), have remained as READ good will ambassadors in their regions while for those still in the college supports lots of reading related programs in their communities, as Social Return on Investment SRO).
