A morning with Family Literacy Project in Nkwezela.

We believes that reading becomes powerful when it is shared. For over 26 years, we have worked alongside rural communities in KwaZulu-Natal to nurture a love of reading across generations.

Through practical, locally grounded programmes, families are rediscovering the joy of stories, strengthening their literacy skills, and together, building stronger learning foundations for children.

Today, our flagship programmes, Khulisa Abantwana and Reach Out to Read, continue to spark this transformation by helping both young and old grow in confidence, connection, and capability as readers.

It wasn't just a conference. It was a movement. πŸš€

This year at LITASA, the Family Literacy Project and Reach Out to Read brought the energy, the passion, and the proof that community-driven literacy works. We shared ideas, sparked conversations, and walked away with full hearts and sharper minds. πŸ§ πŸ’‘

Here's a look back at the moments that made the biggest impact. Let's keep the momentum going! πŸ‘‡

Reading the future, Literacies for transformative education. That's the theme we're exploring at the LITASA conference hosted at Wits University. The Family Literacy Project is deeply honoured to be part of this vital conversation on literacies that don't just educate but transform. The future isn't written yetβ€”but it starts with reading it into being. A huge thank you to LITASA for hosting such a powerful conference. We leave here more inspired, more connected, and more committed than ever to making transformative literacy a reality for every family and child. πŸ™πŸ“š

Owning books from a young age can change the trajectory of a child's life .

At Family Literacy Project, we see this truth every day. And our partnership with Book Dash makes it possible to put that power into the hands of hundreds of children in rural KwaZulu-Natal .

Thank you, Book Dash, for your vision, your incredible work, and your commitment to ensuring every child has a book to call their own. We are humbled to be part of your network of partners working to build a brighter future, one book at a time .

Together, we are turning the page on South Africa's reading crisis. πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦πŸ“š
