GROWING THE LOVE FOR STORIES & READING

When was the last time you listened to our beautifully narrated multilingual radio stories on various SABC radio stations? Every year, Nal’ibali produces a selection of 45 – 52 radio stories which are aired on 13 SABC and 12 independent community radio stations in different languages across the country. Our Nal'ibali radio stories reached an estimated 8 million children through SABC radio stations and 1.4 million via community radio stations in 2024.

Nal'ibali continues to celebrate women who are fostering a culture of reading for enjoyment in their communities. WATCH Dineo Hlobo, an early childhood development practitioner, discuss how Nal'ibali training and reading materials inspired her to establish her own pre-school, Little Innovators Hub, in Ikageng, North West, where she teaches children to read in their own language.By empowering ECD practitioners via training, Nal'ibali lays the groundwork for children to learn to read in their mother tongue at a young age. Find out how you can get involved here on the Nal'ibali website. #WomensMonth #WomensMonth2025 #WomenInEducation #WomenInLiteracy #literacy #education #storytelling #literacyvolunteer

WATCH: If you're looking for motivation to start reading for enjoyment with children, this video is the perfect inspiration. Reading for enjoyment not only helps parents bond with their children, but it also lowers stress and boosts their cognitive skills and vocabulary. In 2024, Nal'ibali trained 1,953 caregivers in early childhood literacy. To continue empowering more caregivers, Nal'ibali needs your support.
