Saide Community Library was opened on 27th February 2012, is an initiative of the youth segment of Saide CBO. Our mission is to instill a reading culture and improve the academic performance of the students in Sabatia Constituency. Our library focuses mainly on reading materials for primary and secondary students. Our collections include: storybooks, curriculum books and past examination papers. We also have novels; materials on HIV/AIDS, farming, gender issues and magazines for the more mature community members. We get our collections through donations from members, community members and other well wishers.
Since the beginning of March 2011, Saide Community Library has been carrying out mobile library services in primary schools within Sabatia Constituency to cater for students who are not able to access our library. The students have been enthusiastically participating by borrowing books and past examination papers. The response had been very positive with even the lower classes asking for story and curriculum books for their level.
SAIDE carries out Motivational and Mentoring sessions in schools within Sabatia Constituency to encourage the students to explore their talents, improve their academic performance, confidence building and transitioning to further education or the workforce.
SAIDE members plant trees in member compounds throughout the month of April in line with the National Tree Planting period. The members are also involved in horticultural farming with the produce being sold in the local market.
