Children in Kibera have received a significant boost to their learning prospects with the launch of a new community library at Ayany Primary School, backed by a consortium of Australian education institutions and partners.

The initiative, led by StudyPerth in collaboration with Murdoch University, Murdoch College, The University of Western Australia (UWA), UWA College, Campus Perth, and Allianz, aims to improve access to books, digital learning resources, and safe study spaces for learners in one of Africa’s largest informal settlements.
