Siyakhula Reading Trust
Siyakhula began in 2012 when retired teacher Nomsa Mgijima started reading to six children on her stoep in Site C. Within a year, forty children were coming every Saturday, and her neighbours offered their time, their books and a shipping container that became our first library.
Today we are a registered non-profit with four staff and more than 120 volunteers, most of them parents, students and pensioners from Khayelitsha. Every rand we receive goes into books, training and the clubs.
