Kids Resource Centre, Kristina Reports Partner on Literacy Training for Children
The need to enarmour children with literacy skills early on in life has engendered a partnership between a non-governmental organization, Kids Resource Centre (KRC), and a virtual news medium, Kristina Reports, with the aim of achieving this objective.
This consensus was reached when KRC’s Executive Director, Deborah Mogho, and Media Focal, Igey Rokalke, paid a courtesy visit on the Publisher of Kristina Reports, Godswill Jumbo, in his office in Bonny, Rivers State.
Mogho told the Kristina Reports chief executive officer that KRC’s core focus is promoting literacy for children aged between two and 12 years old, informing that the Centre has been running literacy programmes for children since 2022.
“In the last three years, when we started in 2022, we have been working on this programme; and this programme is aimed at helping children to build their literacy skills.”
“The Kids Resource Center is actually a project of Smart Kids Literacy Foundation, a nonprofit that is aimed at promoting literacy in our community.”
She expressed the desire of the Centre to leverage the support of the virtual news medium in achieving media visibility for its programmes and activities, thanking the Kristina Reports CEO for the audience and fruitful discussions.
On his part, the Publisher of Kristina Reports, Godswill Jumbo expressed his delight in the visit by the Kids Resource Center team, stating that the corporate vision of both organizations align, as Kristina Reports is poised on support initiatives that drive social impact.
“We are very excited having officials of the Kids Resource Center led by Mrs. Mogho here. It’s exciting for us because at Kristina Reports, our corporate posture is about supporting things that have social impact, especially, a literacy programme that aims to prepare kids, you know, for the future and the right intellectual skills.”
“It’s something we’re excited to support and in seeking our partnership, you know, we’re already positively disposed towards providing this partnership, this collaboration with organizations who are working in this line.”
