Help our children READ

It is widely recognised that the South African’s schooling system performs well below its potential and that improving basic education outcomes is a prerequisite for achieving the country’s long-range developmental goals. It is also recognised that the inability of many of our school children are unable to read or write and this has therefore slowed their cognitive thinking and writing skills.

As a project we decided to donate all and any books that we can manage to collect in the Month of September to an under privileged school. Thus A Book donation drive – requesting members of society - YES that mean all of you to donate books aimed for mainly grade R to grade 7 learners. Any old book lying around in the house will do. Even if its not in the range of or target group. Bring us any and all books - the more the better. We have recognised an underpriviledged school, Kayamandi Primary, located in Stellenbosch as the receipient if this initiative. 

The objective if this project is to create a culture of reading mainly focusing on primary learners, resulting in a solid foundation in in relation to numeric and literacy skills as well as better equip students in future.  Availability of libraries in disadvantaged communities is limited and majority of parents don’t have funds to purchase books, so with this project the aim is to donate books that will lead to higher levels of literacy.

Help us by assisting teachers with the needed resources by means of books, books and more books. 

For peeps who would like to know more about the initiative but do not want to chat too publicly email us at TheSchoolLiteracyProject@gmail.com. We would love your donations and help a child read :)

We have arranged various drop-off points - if you want to donate. Please lend us a helping hand and give a child a bright future. Follow our progress in our aim to assist the scholar’s of Kayamandi Primary School on our blogspot and share a book or two.
