Children helped so far:
How can I help?
help2read was founded by London based businessman, Alex Moss to address the severe level of illiteracy in South Africa and the programme was launched in Cape Town in early 2006. In 5 years it has grown to a significant size in the city of Cape Town and during this period the programme has been refined to address the many obstacles to learning experienced by children from the disadvantaged community of that great city.
Moving forward, driven to continually make progress, help2read is focusing on the needs of sub-Saharan Africa as a region. In doing so, we are addressing one of the world’s most severe literacy challenges and therefore play a significant part in the battle against world poverty.
