Biblionef is a dynamic book donation agency based in Cape Town, South Africa. We are unique in that we provide new children's books in all 11 official South African languages, including books in Braille. For many people in South Africa literacy is still a luxury. Children learn basic reading skills in school but in their daily life these skills are not often nurtured. Illiteracy has a direct relation with poverty and limited educational opportunities. The most useful approach to improving literacy in South Africa is through the primary education system. By donating books, Biblionef aims to develop a love for reading in children and adolescents, thus stimulating their curiosity and desire to learn and laying a solid foundation of knowledge for their future.
