On 28 May 2026, AVBOB Road to Literacy proudly handed over its very first Braille trolley library to Christiana School for the Blind and Partially Sighted, a meaningful milestone in our journey to make reading accessible to every learner. This special handover represents more than just books on shelves. It represents opportunity, inclusion, empowerment, and the belief that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream through the power of literacy. The Braille trolley library was created to support learners with visual impairments by providing access to reading materials in a format designed specifically for their needs. Through this initiative, AVBOB Road to Literacy continues to champion inclusive education and help create spaces where all learners can thrive. Seeing the excitement and joy from both learners and educators reminded us why literacy matters so deeply. AVBOB remains committed to building a future where literacy is not a privilege, but a right accessible to all. Together, we are changing lives one book, one learner, and one library at a time. #AVBOBRoadToLiteracy

Karen Simpson, Managing Director of University Press Southern Africa, reflected on her personal journey in literacy and numeracy. She highlighted the importance of mother-tongue learning and passionately encouraged a shift towards reading not just for enjoyment, but for deeper meaning and true comprehension, the kind that builds a strong foundation for both literacy and numeracy. She also emphasised the powerful role teachers play in shaping young minds and bringing these principles to life in the classroom, reminding us just how impactful education can be when it’s driven with purpose and care. At what age did you start to fall in love with reading? #AVBOBRoadToLiteracy #AVBOBCares #RTL2026

Today, we are proud to hand over the 76th AVBOB Container Library to Ikgomotseng Primary School in Schweizer-Reneke, North West, another important step in empowering young lives through education. Filled with engaging educational books and learning resources, this library will help learners strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills while inspiring a lifelong love for reading and learning. By investing in education today, we are helping young learners build the confidence and foundation they need to overcome tomorrow’s challenges. Together, we continue to create meaningful change one learner, one school, and one community at a time. #AVBOBContainerLibrary #AVBOBCares
