Nal'ibali is a reading-for-enjoyment campaign that sparks children's potential through storytelling and reading.
  • South Africa, it’s time to make your voice count!

As we prepare for World Read Aloud Day on 3 February 2027, we are calling on everyone to take a stand for children’s literacy by making a pledge to read aloud.

We invite parents, caregivers, educators, business owners, community leaders, civil society organisations, sports stars, celebrities, politicians and other public figures to commit to reading aloud with children on the day and making it part of everyday life.

Why pledge? Because every child deserves the opportunity to grow up surrounded by stories. Reading aloud builds language, sparks imagination, strengthens connections and lays the foundation for lifelong learning. But changing South Africa’s reading culture requires all of us to play our part.

Don’t just celebrate the day. Make a commitment. Take the pledge today!

Sign up at www.nalibali.org or WhatsApp 060 044 2254 and type Hi to get started.

Let’s turn our collective commitment into action.
  • Office Closure Notice.

Our offices will be closed tomorrow for the Local Government Elections.

The choices we make today shape the communities our children grow up in, including their access to quality education, libraries, safe spaces and essential services.

If you are eligible, exercise your democratic right. 

Our children’s future is part of the ballot too.
  • We recently had the opportunity to participate in the @emeris_za (formerly Vega) Brand Challenge, where student teams developed strategic brand recommendations for the organisation.

It was an exciting opportunity to see our brand through a fresh, youthful lens and gain new perspectives on how we can strengthen our visibility, connect with more audiences and deepen engagement.

Beyond the creative ideas, the challenge offered valuable strategic insights that can help us grow our reach and strengthen our impact in promoting reading for enjoyment across South Africa.

A sincere thank you to Barbara Radomsky, Francois Taljaardt, Josh and the Vega students for their creativity, passion and thoughtful contributions. We appreciate the fresh thinking and energy you brought to this experience.
