Did you know: Recent research indicates that up to 70% of South Africa's preschool children don't have a picturebook at home? They enter school never having owned a book. It's a similar situation around the world in low-middle-income contexts. The negative effect of this on children's school-readiness and early development is well-documented. Yet we could address this by getting books into children's hands and homes. This is where Book Dash focuses our work.
