The Donate-a-Book campaign has captured the imagination of the nation with an impressive R80,000 raised for 10 under-resourced early learning centres across the country. Generous individuals with a passion for books, together with Media24 and Exclusive Books, helped us to meet our campaign target by the close of the campaign on 31 July.
Each of the early learning centres will shortly receive 100 brand new, mother-tongue books in a lockable trunk as well as resource materials and other support for teachers. The books have been selected by Donate-a-Book partner, Biblionef – a non profit book publisher, providing storybooks in all eleven official South African languages to children's organisations throughout the country. Biblionef focuses on books of African stories with good illustrations that children can easily relate to.
We will be posting impact reports from the projects on this website soon. Be sure to come back so you can see how your donation is helping to liberate the next generation by promoting literacy and a love of reading.
