Your Organisation Can Sponsor Our Global Storybook Project
The Nasio Trust ‘Global storybook Project’ builds on the success of a remarkable collaboration between St. Swithun’s Primary school in Kennington, Oxford, and Mumias school in Western Kenya. Together, these schools created an anthology of short stories titled, Cosmic cats, which features contributions from 25 students from both Kennington and Mumias. The book, published on World Book Day 2024, has been a resounding success. With its striking cover designed by renowned illustrator Korky Paul, Cosmic Cats has already sold over 150 copies. The project obtained significant attention, including coverage on the BBC.
We’re seeking companies and organisations to sponsor the project and make our storybooks a reality so we can continue to raise funds for our Library appeal.
We are now thrilled to extend this opportunity to other schools in Oxfordshire. By developing the Nasio Trusts’ ‘Global Storybook Project’, we invite students to collaborate with one of our partner schools in Kenya in a unique and creative journey. Together, students will write short stories on a shared theme, with their work coming together to form a published anthology that celebrates cultural diversity, creativity, and empowers the voices of students from both the UK and Kenya.
All proceeds from the sales of these books will go towards our Library Appeal.
