Story

Our mission
The LEARN Project is a South African non-profit trust that reaches out to schools and children in need. Our goal is to equip these schools with reading books and to create sustainable libraries and classroom book corners.

Our vision
To put a book into the hand of every learner in order to foster a love of reading and learning today, so that they may reach their full potential tomorrow. Inspiring Hope, Instilling Change, Impacting Lives.

The LEARN Project, standing for Let’s Educate A Rainbow Nation, is a South African non-profit trust, based in Durban, KwaZulu Natal. Our aim is to uplift education in our country through the power of books and literacy. We are passionate about the work that we do and are encouraged by the positive changes we are seeing.To date, LEARN has donated 77,951 books, established 21 school libraries and placed 303 book corners in schools and organisations.

We believe that ‘Readers Make Leaders and Leaders Build Nations’ and with the wealth of information that books provide, minds are unlocked, knowledge is imparted and leadership is developed. This directly links to our core vision and mission of The LEARN Project and after 11 years we have so much to celebrate. Many of our LEARN libraries have won prestigious awards of excellence, a number of learners from our beneficiary schools have won competitions relating to reading, literacy and public speaking and LEARN has been commended by The Department of Education for the noticeable difference we are making in disadvantaged schools.
