Empowering Girls Through Literacy: Mariam Reads "Big Blue Bus"

Empowering Girls Through Literacy: Mariam Reads "Big Blue Bus"

In this heartwarming video, we witness Mariam, a student at the FAWE School, engaging in a computer class activity with her teacher. The scene captures Mariam's enthusiasm as she reads aloud from the story "Big Blue Bus":

Teacher: "What is your name?"

Mariam: "My name is Mariam."

Teacher: "Okay, Mariam. All right. So what story do you choose?"

Mariam: "'Big Blue Bus.'"

Teacher: "Very good, a nice story. Can you read it for me?"

Mariam: "Yes, sir."

Teacher: All right.

Mariam: There was only one bus in this village.  Ebei is very excited. They will travel in the big, blue bus. He could not sleep at night. Ebei was already dressed when his mother comes to wake him. Ebei and his mother walked to the bus stop. They waited for the big blue bus. The bus did not come.

Teacher: That's very good. Thank you. Very good.

Your continued support is helping empower girls, such as Mariam, through literacy and education.  We are truly grateful for your generosity. Every dollar donated makes an impact on girls' education.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
