17 ECD Joburg centres receive brand-new multilingual and multicultural storybooks

# A collaboration between Read with Wimpy and Ladles of Love literacy has seen the gifting of over one-thousand-200 brand-new books to just over 600 children across 17 early childhood development centres in Johannesburg. This collaboration tackles two urgent issues: hunger and illiteracy. Each child receives two carefully selected books, one in their mother tongue to build foundational reading skills and cultural identity, and another in English. This handover continues the provincial rollout of a six-thousand-book donation spanning three provinces, Gauteng, Western Cape and Northern Cape.
