About The Yak Jones FoundationThe Yak Jones Foundation, founded by Dr. Mrs. Yakama Manty Jones, is focused on promoting literacy in Sierra Leone. We believe that reading is the foundation for all learning. Our mission is, therefore, to bring back the reading culture to Sierra Leone.
In Sierra Leone, there is limited availability of public libraries, and many schools and parents are unable to afford books (especially non-subject matter books) necessary for effective teaching and learning. Through our interventions, we seek to contribute our part in ensuring that all children gain basic literacy and numeracy skills and remain avid readers through life.
