Mama Africa Book Box – MABB’s Objectives in Building Readership and Authorship in Africa

In alignment with CLC Kenya’s overarching commitment to honouring God through the provision and accessibility of Christian literature, the MABB initiative focuses on nurturing faith and maturity in children and teenagers. Rooted in a dedication to discipleship through the promotion of leisure reading, MABB delineates comprehensive objectives and strategies to achieve its mission.

Discipleship through Reading, Writing, and Publishing:

  • Facilitate an environment conducive to discipleship by producing, distributing, and promoting Christian literature tailored for children and teenagers.
  • Engage in the creation and publication of materials that resonate with the unique developmental stages of young minds, fostering a deeper connection with faith and spiritual growth.

Promotion of Leisure Reading Over Screen Time (In Collaboration with Parents):

  • Develop initiatives that encourage parents to prioritise leisure reading as a wholesome alternative to excessive screen time.
  • Collaborate with parents through awareness campaigns, workshops, and educational materials to underscore the benefits of fostering a love for reading in the digital age.

In adherence to CLC Kenya’s mission to bring people to faith and maturity in Jesus Christ, the MABB initiative aspires to cultivate a generation of spiritually grounded and literate individuals, fostering an enduring connection with Christian values through accessible and engaging literature.

Mama Africa Book Box isn’t just a way for kids and teens to have fun; it’s also a way to promote readership and authorship in Africa through literature. Each box has books written by international as well as African authors and stories that celebrate diversity and history.

Mama Africa Book Box focuses on quality and ease of use to make sure that parents can spend more time with their children and less time researching how to raise leaders.
Each Mama Africa Book Box is filled with carefully chosen books that are meant to get your children interested in readership and authorship in Africa. By giving your child a Mama Africa Book Box, you are not only giving them something to do, but you are also teaching them to become readers today in order to lead tomorrow!
Each Mama Africa Book Box is carefully put together with age-appropriate books, educational toys, and other fun surprises that will spark your child’s imagination and curiosity. With each box, your child will learn about new worlds and cultures and get better at things like reading and solving problems.
The goal of Mama Africa Book Box is to get your children to read and learn about faith, moral values, history, and culture. Each box has carefully chosen books and activities that will make children of all ages curious and creative.

By promoting literature, we can empower the next generation to challenge harmful stereotypes, like, ‘if you want to hide something from an African, put it in a book.’ This harmful stereotype keeps spreading the false idea that Africans don’t care about school or reading.

Make every month a reading month with a box full of surprises.
