GROWING THE LOVE FOR STORIES & READING

The Nal’ibali SEF Family Literacy Programme is now in Phase 4 of funding after three successful phases which created over 3,000 new jobs across 7 provinces. In the current phase Na’ibali collaborates with Axium Education, LIMA Rural Development Foundation, and Penreach to scale its work in over 100 communities across all 9 provinces and will create 1,000 new jobs over a period of 10 months. The Nal'ibali SEF Family Literacy Programme seeks to enhance the availability of literacy and play-based learning activities, as well as resources, for young children in under-resourced communities. The aim is to strengthen language and literacy skills while fostering a lifelong love of reading.
