Project: Promising Pages Children's Book Drive
Description: On World Case Teaching Day (5 February 2025), SoAfrSPM proudly launched our latest case study: Libraries Without Walls: Scaling the Promising Pages Pilot Initiative (PPPI). In alignment with the themes explored in this case, we initiated the Promising Pages Children's Book Drive—a one-month campaign aimed at collecting children’s books that reflect Namibian and African stories to support childhood literacy through the Promising Pages Pilot Initiative (PPPI). The goal is to collect 70 children's books that reflect Namibian and African stories to support childhood literacy through PPPI. Literacy is a gateway to economic opportunity, education, and empowerment. By providing access to culturally relevant books, we help shape a future where children see themselves in the stories they read and develop a lifelong love for learning.
Dates: 5 February to 5 March 2025
Related SDG Goals:
SDG 1 – No Poverty. Goal: End poverty in all its forms everywhere. Literacy improves economic opportunities, employment prospects, and financial stability. Low literacy levels contribute to cycles of poverty, limiting access to education and better-paying jobs.
SDG 4 – Quality Education. Goal: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Literacy is a fundamental skill that empowers individuals, enables access to better opportunities, and improves overall quality of life.
How You Can Support: We invite supporters to join us in this effort by donating children's books, contributing financially to the book fund, or helping spread awareness about the book drive.
