Spread the word

The wider our network of champions, the more sponsors get on board, the more books we get to kids. We’re on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram. Give us a follow and remember to tag us in any posts and use the hashtag #bookdash!

Donate to the cause

By helping us cover running costs, you help us get more books to more children. Card, SnapScan and EFT payments are all accepted. If you’re in South Africa, then you can also sign up for a MySchool card and make us your beneficiary of choice.

Buy our books

We use various channels to sell our books to people who can afford to purchase them. Proceeds from these sales are used to subsidise the printing and distribution of books to children who would never otherwise own books.
