Mobile Trolley LibrariesReading for Meaning
Reading for meaning. Building comprehension.
Sponsor a trolley. Empower a reader. Change a future.
The solution is found where the challenge exists. Mobile Trolley Libraries bring books, learning and the joy of reading directly into schools and communities, making reading more accessible, engaging and fun.
Where this project stands
Operating nationally for 12 years. Mobile Trolley Libraries are already bringing books into schools and communities across South Africa, and partners can help take the programme to more of them.
Where it sits in the BRC Nexus
Learning infrastructure. This project builds the human foundation the Nexus serves: young people equipped to think, read and lead.
Reading is more than recognising words. It is about understanding, comprehension, imagination and applying knowledge.
A lasting reading culture
By encouraging children and families to read for meaning, we aim to nurture a lasting reading culture and strengthen the foundations for lifelong learning.
