    Read to Rise is a non-profit organisation committed to promoting youth literacy in schools in South Africa's under-resourced communities. As the name indicates, we firmly believe that children need to read in order to rise in their personal development and contribution to society.  

     

    Children who love reading, excel at school and go on to become constructive members of society. It all starts with reading.

     

    We aim to address the troubling reality that young children in our communities are not reading as much as they require for their educational development. Children in the foundational phase should be reading around 40 books per year; in our under-resourced communities children are reading only 1 to 2 books per year.

     

    The root causes of this low reading level are:

    1.  Most children come from homes without books and have never owned a reading book.

    2.  Most children do not have access to adequately-stocked libraries at their schools or in their communities.

    3.  Most children are not inspired and motivated to read. 

     

    READ to RISE has designed programmes to directly address these root causes of poor reading levels. Click here to read about our programmes.
