| Book Publishing |
| US$30,000 |
Fund the publication of approximately 9,000 copies of an original local language children's title written and illustrated by local authors and artists in either South Africa or Zambia. Each title is printed in country, supporting the local publishing industry and creating jobs for local authors and illustrators, and then distributed throughout our schools and libraries.
Sponsors of our Book Publishing program will have the opportunity to choose the dedication language that will appear on the inside cover of the book and will receive copies of the book once it is published. See a sample local language book (Adobe PDF, 4.7MB).
