International Youth Day serves as an opportunity to reflect on how a single story has the potential to inspire a profound sense of hope. In refugee camps and remote villages, curious minds find solace between pages, and braille books allow the magic of reading to light the way for a new generation. This is how Kalimat Foundation is turning pages into possibilities; celebrating youth, imagination, and the right of every child to hold the world in their hands.

Kalimat Foundation brings the joy of books and storytelling to 2,200
young Arab refugees and visually-impaired children in Morocco 

• The UAE-based global nonprofit donates 400 Arabic books and 1,100 books in accessible formats to schools and child welfare institutions through its Pledge a Library and ARA initiatives, in collaboration with UAE’s MoFA. 
• Engages young readers in captivating storytelling sessions and workshops inspired by them  
• Beneficiary schools and foundations were strategically selected by the Foundation owing to the fact that they support the education and learning of over 2,200 refugee, blind and visually imapired children
