It is estimated that 81% of Grade 4 learners in South Africa are functionally illiterate.

Read to Rise works with 14,600 children in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, South Africa as well as 5,400 children in Soweto, JHB.

We would like to give each of these children a brand new story book as well as conduct our class programme. Many children have never owned a book before and do not have books at home to read.

If a child loves to read, they will excel at school and go on to become good constructive members in society. It all starts with reading.

For only R50 a child, a child will benefit from the READ to RISE programme and receive a brand new story book to take home.
