Book Dash’s vision is that every child should own a hundred books by the age of five, before they enter school. To that end, they gather creative professionals who volunteer to create new, African storybooks that anyone can freely translate and distribute. Research shows that owning books is a key factor in early development and academic success: more important than socio-economic status and equaled only by parents’ level of education. By working together to increase book ownership among South African children, Book Dash aims to effectively disrupt a cycle of inequality for good. In addition to creating and publishing new books, they source the funding to print hundreds and thousands of copies to give freely to children through partner organisations. https://bookdash.org/

The Pehlay Akshar program was developed to address some issues raised by conventional English teaching in India – English is taught in the British way, with rules, structures and idioms that can make learning the language a challenge, especially for those who don’t normally speak it.
Instead, they believe in imparting Functional English – a sufficient command over the language to enable children to progress in their academics and careers. The program aims to make the children employable in careers that require spoken English, or confident to pursue higher education in English if they choose. https://pehlayakshar.org/
