Books Transform Early Learning Centres
Story 1
Thousands of young children now have better access to books and reading spaces after 10 Early Childhood Development centres across South Africa were upgraded through the Mandela Month Literacy Legacy Initiative.
The project provided 1 500 books, educational toys, take-home reading packs and dedicated reading corners to support early literacy.
The initiative will continue beyond Mandela Month, with assessments planned to identify infrastructure improvements at the centres and create safer, better learning environments.
