Houses: The Dwellings of Ethiopia

Description

Ready Set Go Books is a project by Open Hearts Big Dreams Fund aimed at increasing literacy rates in Ethiopia by providing books in indigenous Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and Afaan Oromo, along with English. These bilingual early readers are designed to help emerging readers build vocabulary and fluency. The books feature colorful illustrations set in Ethiopian contexts and are based on traditional Ethiopian sayings. Profits from book sales are reinvested into creating and distributing more books to Ethiopian children. OHBD has already published over 100 dual language titles and plans to publish more, expanding the language offerings. Their mission is to empower Ethiopian youth by providing access to literacy and educational resources.
