In 2024, As part of the Book Free Friday initiative organised by Kathmandu Metropolitan City,
Sarathi Nepal conducted engaging sessions focused on nurturing a vibrant reading culture among
children and youth. The project aimed to encourage regular reading habits by creating
interactive and enjoyable experiences centred around books and storytelling.
During these sessions, Sarathi Nepal’s team facilitated various activities including
group reading, storytelling, and discussions on the importance of reading for personal growth
and learning. Our approach was designed to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for books, especially
among young participants who might otherwise have limited access to reading materials.
By participating in this city-wide initiative, we contributed to fostering a
community where reading becomes a joyful and integral part of everyday life. The sessions not
only promoted literacy but also encouraged critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love
for learning among the participants.
Through this collaboration with Kathmandu Metropolitan City, we helped bring the power of books
to public spaces, making reading more accessible and appealing to diverse audiences across the
city.
