100+ School Kits, 96 Displaced Children, One Big Belief — Books Are for Everyone

Jayce Joyce’s mantra is: “Think It, Say It, Love It, Write It and Inspire the world.”

That mantra does not stop at Birmingham city limits. It does not stop at the UK border. It does not stop anywhere.

Through the Books From Children To Children initiative and Jayce’s World of Learning CIC, Jayce and his team have delivered over 100 school kits to disadvantaged pupils across two primary schools — and supported 96 displaced children through community partnerships. The work continues.

Why international impact matters to Jayce

Jayce is the child of a family with roots beyond the UK. He understands — in a way that is visceral rather than theoretical — that the accident of where a child is born should not determine whether they get to hold a book, hear a story, or be told that their imagination is worth nurturing. It is a belief that runs through everything Jayce’s World does.

Books are not a luxury. They are how children learn who they are, what the world contains, and what they might become. Every child deserves that.

The CECLIF partnership — Uganda

Working with the CECLIF foundation in Uganda, Jayce’s World has supported children in displaced communities with educational materials — including books, writing resources, and learning kits.

The Good Samaritan Foundation and Cecil Foundation — Cameroon

In Cameroon, 100+ disadvantaged pupils across two primary schools have received school kits through partnerships with the Good Samaritan Foundation and Cecil Foundation. Jayce has also received international coverage through CRTV — Cameroon Radio Television — which brought his story to audiences across Central Africa.

96 displaced children supported. 100+ school kits delivered. For the children who received them, it is everything.
