All the individual school children who cannot read and those with special needs in reading are documented. Teachers skills on teaching reading are assessed prior to training. We also undertake post training assessment of the teachers. Our success are measured against the indicators we develop from the field before the project. For every school term, the monitoring and evaluation officer produces a report which are discussed with the officers of the selected schools and our partners.

We conduct vigorous baseline assessment in all the schools we donate books to them.
