Reading is one of the most powerful ways to spark curiosity, imagination, and learning in children. However, in many parts of Nepal, children do not have access to books in their own language, making it difficult for them to connect with stories and develop strong literacy skills. To solve this, Dikshya Foundation runs a storybook translation and learning program that brings the joy of reading to every child.
Why Storybook Translation Matters in Nepal
Most children’s books available in Nepal are in English or other foreign languages. While valuable, they are often difficult for young children to understand. This creates a barrier to literacy and limits children’s ability to enjoy reading.
By translating storybooks into Nepali and local languages, Dikshya Foundation ensures that children can read, learn, and imagine in the language they are most comfortable with.
