International Impact — Uganda

100+ school kits delivered

£0 admin overhead

What "Community" Means Here

Three audiences, one promise

Jayce's community work is organised around the people he is most determined to reach: children in under-resourced UK schools, children in international literacy projects, and children in libraries, care homes and community spaces where stories don't usually visit.

Some of this work is delivered through Jayce's World of Learning CIC — a registered Community Interest Company with a public asset lock — and some directly through Jayce's World Publishing as part of our trade-and-donate model.

However it's funded, the rule is the same: no child pays.
