OPINION | Social employment could transform South African society - One example is the 1 000 literacy champions trained by Nal’ibali to encourage families and children to read together
package, which President Cyril Ramaphosa launched in October 2020 to counteract Covid-19’s impact on the economy.
This has enabled Nal’ibali to train 1 000 people to run a family and community literacy programme. Twice a week, the people we’ve hired read aloud to preschoolers and grade R classrooms and run community reading clubs. At these clubs, children practise reading and writing skills in a safe, fun-filled environment where home languages are celebrated.
And they each received 20 children’s books of their own to keep after the project has ended so they too can enjoy the benefits of reading and sharing stories with their own families, just as they are sharing those benefits with others. All in all, Nal’ibali’s 1 000 literacy champions will bring an exciting educational programme to 450 preschools and 3 600 families in seven provinces. More than 20 000 children in 71 communities will have regular, high-quality learning experiences.
