Young Reach Initiative aims at bridging the existent gap in literacy amongst children in the foundation phase of learning, (6-14 years) through reading clinics that will go around working with schools, seeking to re-dress the plight. The focus on learning how to read through the employment of Phonetics and reading tools will assist in curbing the illiteracy rates in the country and adversely alleviating poverty in South Africa.
