Our Purpose

Mission, Vision & Values

The Extensive Reading Movement is a community-driven literacy initiative based in the Central Tongu District of the Volta Region. Launched on Thursday, 25th June 2026, we work hand in hand with schools, teachers, community leaders, and the Ghana Education Service to put books in young hands and reading at the heart of every community. Our tagline says it best: "Inspiring minds. Building readers. Transforming futures."
