Mmangwana Literacy Project

Welcome to "Mmangwana (Mother and Child) Literacy project! The project was initiated with the aim of promoting literacy and fostering a love for reading among underprivileged children aged 5 to 10 in Soweto, Johannesburg. The sessions include various activities such as storytelling sessions, book distributions, and parental training/information meetings. Through the project, we are bringing the magic of books to the community by the children receiving their very own children’s books.
