Eduvos Shares the Gift of Reading This World Book Day.

Post by Eduvos, May 16, 2025.

In honour of World Book Day on Wednesday, 23 April, some of our Eduvos campuses across South Africa came together to celebrate the power of stories, imagination, and education. Driven by our value of Humanness, the Faculty of Humanities led a national initiative to inspire a love of reading among young learners. 

Our students and staff visited local schools, orphanages, and youth care centres to donate books, lead reading sessions and participate in interactive activities with children. This heartfelt initiative united campuses in a shared mission: to nurture curiosity, support literacy, and ignite the imagination of future generations. 

Participating campuses and their partner organisations included: 

  • Mbombela – Betties Haven Orphanage 
  • Nelson Mandela Bay – Eastern Province Child & Youth Care Centre 
  • Bedfordview – Spark Schools 
  • Pretoria – Ditshego House of Laughter 
  • Tygervalley & Mowbray – Three Bears School 

But this is just the beginning. With more visits planned in Block 3, we look forward to expanding our impact: 

  • Vaal (Vanderbijlpark) – Huis Belinda 
  • East London – King’s Children’s Home 
  • Bloemfontein – Ons Kinders 
  • Midrand – Spark Schools 

World Book Day reminds us that reading is not just a skill; it’s a gateway to opportunity, empathy, and transformation. We are incredibly proud of our Eduvos students and staff for bringing books to life and helping shape the readers, writers, and leaders of tomorrow.
