Read Connect was founded in 2024 by two Teach For Kenya Fellows (Erick Wambugu and Stacy Sirma) to address critical literacy challenges at Ngwata Primary and Junior School in Machakos County.
The initiative began with reading materials, play-based learning, and digital literacy training methods.
Read Connect has grown through storybook reading, board games, and peer tutoring, and aims to expand its reach.
