Book Dash celebrates 10 year anniversary
In 2024 Book Dash celebrates 10 years of gifting books to children to take home and own.
Over the last decade, Book Dash has printed more than 4 million storybooks and worked with 200 NGOs around the country to get them into children’s hands to own. Many belong to children who otherwise would not own a single book.
Early book ownership (before the age of five) supports school readiness, reading skills and overall academic success - which ultimately fuels economic growth and reduces inequality.
