Providing beautiful books for children in their own language

Little Zebra Books is a non-profit organisation based in Cape Town, South Africa. We exist to inspire children in Africa to grow in their love of reading and love for the Lord.

In many places in Africa, it is rare for a child to own a book in their own language. We are changing that by distributing thousands of beautiful books to local partners who share them with children in their communities.
