Literacy Partnership

Nali’Bali have entered into a social compact that drives a parent-school-community literacy intervention in seven Khulani primary schools in Braamfischerville, Gauteng. The programme is socio-educationally positioned to promote reading and writing in mother tongue languages in a fun way, to contribute to long-term improved educational outcomes.

READ Power has partnered with Nali’Bali on the Khulani Project to donate solar lights to learners in Braamfischerville to achieve the joint goals of:

    Enhancing learning outcomes: Providing solar lights to children in Nali’Bali’s programme, enabling them to study after school and at night when back at home.

Corporate Sponsors

READ Power has donated solar lights to households located in the Thabo Mbeki informal settlement and Braamfischerville township in South Africa from generous sponsorships from Jones Lang Lasalle and Tetris Design & Build. In addition to the solar lighting systems, stationery packs, reading books, school shirts, and sanitary pads were donated to the schools supported by the READ Power. The handover of solar lights also included a demonstration to the learners of how a solar lighting system works as well as teaching the learners about solar power.

The programme has also been supported by Media Heads 360, with calls to support READ Power being flighted on several leading South African radio stations.
