The Book Cradle Project, a youth-led non-profit founded in 2022, is working to bring books, reading programs and writing workshops to underserved communities across the Philippines. Since its creation, the group has organized read-aloud sessions, book drives, and creative writing workshops. In 2023, The Book Cradle Project was accredited by the National Coordinating Body of Clubs for UNESCO in the Philippines, through the UNESCO National Commission – Department of Foreign Affairs (UNACOM-DFA). Their latest initiative is the publication of “A Few Willing Hands,” a picture book aimed at readers aged 12 and above. “This book is a testament to our organization’s mission: ‘Literacy sparksexpression, and expression sparks change,” the founders said.
