Why Read & Write
For long, most students and professionals are majorly encouraged to read and write for exam and interview passing, while writing books/stories has been relegated to only those with specific training or natural talent.

Unemployment in Uganda
The unemployment level in Uganda is increasing every year with 400,000 graduands being released into the job market every year. Lack of interest in reading and writing partly contributes to joblessness in the country. It is at this critical point that the TFK Read – Write Clubs TV show comes on board to improve the reading and writing culture among Ugandans, East Africa and Africa at large.
We are happy to work with anyone with a thirst to establish a strong reading and writing culture in Uganda, East Africa and Africa at large.
