Literacy is a
Fundamental
Human Right

Our mission is to ensure that every South African child has access to books.

Learning to read without books is like learning to play soccer without a ball, impossible but relevant for many South African kids who are expected to become literate without access to books.

Libraries for Literacy partners with under-resourced South African schools to create libraries with age-appropriate books in both English and local African languages. By doing so we strive to create equity in literacy.
