Rural Development Support Program

Big shout out to our newest top fan! 💎 Samolene Bloem

This week, RDSP is partnering with Nal'ibali to pilot an exciting reading-for-enjoyment programme in Namaqua Central! Did you know? Studies show that 81% of Grade 4 children in South Africa struggle to read for meaning. Shockingly, 65% of children under 10 don't own a single picture book, leaving most primary school learners 3 to 4 years behind their reading age.

We are on a mission to change that! Through fun, interactive storytelling, this programme sparks children’s potential while naturally improving their vocabulary, grammar, writing style, and spelling. Let’s bring the joy of reading back into our communities!

A massive thank you to Kangnas Wind Farm for supporting this important programme and investing in the future of our children.
Well done to the incredible community volunteers who have stepped up to be part of the very first group being trained this week. Your dedication is inspiring.
