Help 2 friends spread the gift of Zim Literature
Donation protected
We are two friends who grew up in Triangle, a delightfully small town in the Lowveld of Zimbabwe. We are on a tiny mission to inspire people to read more local fiction... Because BOOKS.
Literature has played a magical role in our lives. We wouldn’t have had the privilege of seeing the world, if it wasn’t for the way books made us fearless.
We want to extend this gift to students in our hometown who may not have the same access that we were lucky to have. While unequal access to books may be a systemic issue that requires work on multiple fronts, there are small ways in which we can contribute.
For our first campaign, we are launching a book drive with a twist. Traditional book drives ask you to donate previously loved books which often translates to (let’s be honest) unloved books. We want to do it differently.
Our goal is to put together a box of carefully curated Zimbabwean titles for a high school in our hometown. We will buy the books from Weaver Press, a local publisher.
Your donation, no matter how small, will support a local publisher in these uncertain times and ultimately offer the gift of Zimbabwean literature to a high school library.
Through it all, we invite you to join our community of book lovers on Facebook and Instagram . Lets #readzimlit
As always, when in doubt - buy more books from your local bookstore!
