Nal'ibali is a reading-for-enjoyment campaign that sparks children's potential through storytelling and reading.
  • In the spirit of inclusivity and linguistic celebration, our Nal'ibali Eastern Cape recently added South African Sign Language (SASL) to their holiday reading programme at Dimbaza Library. Children participate in spelling bees and share stories in SASL using materials from the library. By incorporating SASL, the programme promotes understanding and appreciation of diverse linguistic backgrounds, enriching the overall experience for all participants.

Through the promotion of literacy in South African Sign Language, Nal'ibali is raising awareness about the importance of sign languages in literacy development and the inclusion of deaf children in literacy programmes.

  • One of Nelson Mandela’s greatest wishes was for South African children to experience the joy of reading. As we celebrate his legacy this month, Nal'ibali has compiled 67 ways to encourage reading, writing, and storytelling among children in your family, reading club, or community. By participating in these initiatives, we can honour his vision and ensure every child has the chance to discover the magic of stories.
