We are starting a project in Alexandra Township that will focus on helping pupils from grade R – 4 with reading and writing. We would like to play our part in the upliftment of the people of South Africa through reading. We believe that by learning how to read and write comprehensively, each child will be able to develop in every aspect of their lives.
Our vision is to reduce illiteracy levels in underprivileged South African communities. By teaching children from an early age, we hope to assist these children and introduce them to a culture of learning and reading before they begin formal schooling.
Funds raised will go towards the purchase of a container in the reading centre. We will also acquire books, building blocks, puzzles and other interactive educational toys for a holistic learning approach.
The program will take place every Saturday for four hours.
