  • We absolutely value stories in all South African languages. ❤️

For this Call for Stories, we’re focusing on Siswati, isiNdebele, Setswana, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga because these are the languages where we currently have the greatest publishing need.

Our goal is to keep growing our collection of high-quality children’s stories across all South African indigenous languages, and we hope to include more languages in future calls.

Thank you for your understanding, your enthusiasm, and for helping us build a richer, more inclusive reading culture where every child can see themselves in a story.

  • Congratulations, Miss Peace! What an inspiring journey, from becoming a Nal’ibali FUNda Leader to completing the Reading Club Module, and now launching Ngwana Kasi NPO.

Your story is a powerful reminder that when families and communities make reading part of everyday life, children thrive. Thank you for investing in children’s futures and for creating spaces where they can discover the joy of stories, grow their imaginations, and dream without limits.

We wish you every success as you continue to inspire a love of reading, one child, one book, and one story at a time. Keep shining and making a difference!
