Background
Muna Kalati is an association working to promote reading for African children. More than ever, the Association would like to extend its actions and vision to every corner of the world in general, and Africa in particular. Children’s books are not widely available on the continent. Unfortunately, many parents are still strangers to them. Nevertheless, although others are aware of this, the problem of access to children’s books remains acute. But the right message needs to spread like wildfire to African parents in every corner of Africa and the world. The Muna Kalati Association, therefore, needs ambassadors who share its overall vision for the democratization of books and reading. To this end, it is a question, among other things, of making children’s books accessible to all and making reading a common, everyday practice among children.
