Lisika Unite Foundation’s mission is to close the educational achievement gap often experienced by economically vulnerable children, increase free access of children story books in deep rural areas of Limpopo, South Africa.
Our deep rural communities face an undeniable literacy crisis where learners have not been provided the opportunities to develop their reading competency and consequently their learning potential. At the core of our literacy projects is a profound observation with which we all agree, that is, that reading is a social activity.
