OSISA and Comic Relief
After receiving an initial grant from the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa (OSISA) in 2012 to evaluate the impact of our library model, we were awarded a new grant in 2013, jointly funded by UK-based charity Comic Relief and OSISA, for a project entitled "Improving access to quality education in Zambia through the Lubuto Library Model." Over three years, this support enabled us to build on our existing programs and promote our innovative model to stakeholders in Zambia and around the world. Under this project, we were also able to establish the first rural Lubuto library, the Mumuni Library in Zambia's Southern Province.
