Book Dash offers a collection of over 200 free storybooks for children in a variety of languages. The books are available in the 11 official languages of South Africa, such as English, isiZulu, Afrikaans, Sepedi, isiXhosa, Sesotho, isiNdebele, Setswana, Siswati, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga. Additionally, some books are translated into other languages like French.

With the Book Dash app, users can access a catalog of free children's storybooks, select their preferred language for reading, and enjoy their favorite stories on the go. The lineup of books showcases unique African narratives that captivate young readers' imaginations.

Book Dash is a collaborative effort that brings together volunteer creative professionals to craft new African storybooks available for translation and distribution. The initiative aims to address the need for more affordable books for children in South Africa by eliminating the high costs typically associated with purchasing books from publishers.

The goal of Book Dash is ambitious yet essential: to ensure that every child owns a hundred books by the age of five. By providing free access to 600 million books in South Africa, the initiative endeavors to combat illiteracy and open up worlds of knowledge and imagination through reading.
