Promoting Literacy in South Africa's townships
Organization information
help2read
Location: Mooikloof, Pretoria, South Africa
Summary
Most of South Africa's poorest communities lack educational infrastructure & resources, leading to 78% of Grade 4 children not being able to read for meaning in any language. Illiteracy breeds exclusion and perpetuates poverty. Help2read builds literacy by training unemployed young people as literacy tutors and helping them establish & operate community reading programmes in safe educational spaces that promote family literacy & a love of reading and helps children secure a good future.
