78% of children cannot read for meaning by the end of Grade 4. We are on a mission to change that!We have noticed that there is a distressing lack of human connection in the learning to read process in low-income schools throughout South Africa.

Through providing low-income schools with digital infrastructure, our online tutoring application, and a digital library we intend to help these children learn to read for meaning and enjoyment.
