Children’s Magazine is First of Its Kind in East Africa
The aim of establishing Mujtaba Magazine in Kenya was first to foster Islamis values in Muslim children from an early age. The magazine is the first of its kind in East Africa and is just as much about growing a love of reading in Kenyan, Ugandan and Tanzanian youths. The magazine is also sold in a number of other countries including th United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Nazneen Karim, editor of Mujtaba in Kenya, suggests that parents and teachers should choose books for their children that will contribute in molding them into good citizens while promoting the culture of reading that is on a downturn in Kenya.
“Parents should encourage their children to read books that are commensurate with their age and avoid giving them those that are beyond them in the delusion that by doing so, the will be learning ahead of time and their peers,” she says.
