Nal’ibali is calling on organisations, communities and partners to support the campaign through collaboration, helping to amplify literacy initiatives across the country.

Used yoghurt tubs collected from schools across Gauteng have been used to make bricks for a library at Morojaneng Primary School in Katlehong.

Grade 6 comprehension scores have risen from 42 percent to 70 percent, while Grade 3 scores increased from 33.2 percent to 50 percent.
The project partners say the initiative is combining waste reduction with improved literacy outcomes.
