Members of Council History of SABDC Achievements Policy Development Research & Development Indigenous language Publishing Reading Promotion Advocacy Project name Rally to READ Mission Rally to READ is a joint venture between the Financial Mail, McCarthy Motor Holdings, READ Educational Trust and Financial Times of London. READ aims to assist and empower people throughout South Africa to develop their reading, writing and learning, information and communication skills so they can become independent life-long learners. Objectives Rally to READ highlights the desperate plight of the many geographical isolated schools in South Africa. Access to these schools is limited to robust 4x4 vehicles. Few of these schools have received any support in the past. Rally to READ provides book and teacher training for these rural schools, which usually fall out of loops.
