Help Book Village NPC raise R160,000 for supporting 100 children learn to read online for a year

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

81% South African children cannot read for meaning by the end of Grade 4. Children need individual support and the human connection to learn to read, and in low-income schools in South Africa they do not receive this due to terrible overcrowding. Often there are over 60 children in a class and only one teacher. We are a non-profit company and a public benefit organisation trying to help end this reading crisis. We have developed an online tutoring platform that enables children to learn to read by connecting them to a volunteer tutor and a levelled reading series by Oxford University Press. They can learn to read at their own level and pace with the individual support and love that they need to succeed. We have found that in just 10 reading sessions, children make measurable progress in their reading abilities. So far we have helped over 2000+ children across 4 schools in South Africa and our goal is to implement into 10 more schools this year. We need your help to reach this goal and make a difference to children's lives.
