The Wandiika Literacy Initiative
The Wandiika Literacy Initiative (Uganda) was founded by Mr. Simpson Muhwezi who also acts as its Creative Director. The mission of The Wandiika Literacy Initiative is to use story-writing to help children develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills; the skills Mr Simpson strongly believes are vital not only for their academic performance but also their survival and prosperity in the 21st Century. He curates the initiative’s flagship programme, Wandiika Children’s Writing Prize, an annual creative writing competition. He is also a writer, of mainly children’s stories.
Mr Simpson believes that “A child who reads and writes regularly will most likely be more confident, think faster and express themselves better.”
ABCA is a proud supporter of the Wandiika Literacy Competition.
