Spreading happiness through the Free Book Dash Book distribution at Julius Sebolai Primary School Grade R, Bramfisherville, Soweto.
The Literacy Project's free book distribution activity had quite an impact! Let's break down the data: (Please note that the project is ongoing in Cape Town and Limpopo with the aim of distributing 100% of the Free Book Dash books, These are the different chapters of Women's Federation in South Africa)
Number of books distributed: 2000 - 1250: Johannesburg ; 250 - Limpopo; and 500 Cape Town
Number of children reached: 1900 . This suggests that the project directly impacted about 1900 children.
Number of organizations reached: 20-30 Collaborating with multiple organizations likely expanded the project's reach and effectiveness.
Number of new connections: 70 - 100. Building new connections is essential for the sustainability and growth of any project.
Overall, these numbers reflect a successful initiative with significant outreach and potential for further expansion and impact in promoting literacy.
