Inspiring a Love for Reading

Nal’ibali (isiXhosa for “here’s the story”) is South Africa’s national reading-for-enjoyment campaign, inspiring children aged 0–12 to love reading stories in all South African languages. By promoting home languages, Nal’ibali helps children build literacy skills and develop a lifelong reading culture. Adults play a key role in nurturing this love of stories and supporting children’s growth.

Our Campaigns

This is where Nal’ibali’s work on the ground comes to life, bringing the love of stories to children all over the country.

  • Hear from Gcinumuzi Radebe at the 5th Men’s Literacy Imbizo!

Gcinumuzi Radebe began his journey in literacy development with Nal’ibali in 2013, working closely with communities and schools to spark a love of reading among children.

His passion and commitment saw him grow into roles as a Provincial Coordinator and later a Master Trainer, where he supported the development of facilitators and helped shape the tools and training that strengthen early learning spaces.

Across his work with various literacy organisations, he has played a key role in improving reading outcomes and building environments where children can thrive.

Driven by a deep belief in the power of literacy, Gcinumuzi continues to advocate for stronger community and parental involvement in raising a generation of readers.

Join us later this month as he shares his journey and reminds us that every child’s reading story begins with us.

  • Over two days at our Tshwane office, our team rolled up their sleeves as we strategised how to write compelling reports that showcase our impact, as well as writing funding proposals to sustain our work. 

These efforts are crucial in ensuring our programmes reach more children, helping to spark imagination, learning, and a lifelong love of reading.

At Nal’ibali, every insight and plan is a step toward creating stronger, more effective literacy programmes. But we can’t do it alone. Whether it’s R2, R5 or R10 you donate, it can make a difference in bringing stories, books, and the joy of reading to children across South Africa.
