Children’s Book Club

Children’s Book Club

Brought in as a Thembalitsha programme by Kate Christie in 2026, The Children’s Book Club provides a regular nutritious meal alongside reading and educational activities. Good nutrition supports brain development, concentration and memory, all of which are important for learning. By addressing both hunger and literacy, Children’s Book Club supports the child as a whole.

When translated from Xhosa, our name “Thembalitsha” means “new hope”.
