A Foundation Built on the Power of Reading.

The Oscar Foundation was born from a simple belief: every child deserves the chance to dream bigger through books. In a nation where countless children lack access to reading materials, we saw an opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Since our inception, we've been working tirelessly to bridge the literacy gap, partnering with schools, communities, and generous donors to bring the joy of reading to every corner of Kenya.

We are not just distributing books; we are planting seeds of knowledge, imagination, and hope.
