– South Africa’s reading-for-enjoyment campaign – has been the catalyst for millions of lifetime journeys.
A total of 13 401 children were reached with Nal’ibali’s first call to action in 2013. In 2021, the campaign, together with its partners, read aloud to over 3 million children. "Children who regularly hear fun and engaging stories understand how books work and are more motivated and better equipped to learn to read themselves and to keep reading."
"For children to enjoy a story, they must be able to understand it! Because of this we commission a brand-new story in all 11 official South African languages each year," explains Huston.
