Speaking books by SADAG

"Imagine looking at this article and only understanding the images. Being illiterate limits the information you can access, and in Africa, one in five people cannot read. Enter Speaking Books, an inventive health tool that was recognised with a United Nations prize for information and communication technology in May. Praised as a world first, each 16-page book relays essential health-related information on a variety of topics, ranging from malaria and tuberculosis to HIV and Aids. Conceptualised by local NGO South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), the free books are clearly worded with culturally relevant illustrations and a soundtrack of the text in various languages, including Zulu, Mandarin and Hindi. According to SADAG founder Zane Wilson, 27 people "read" each title and of these, 97 percent requested more books. To sponsor a series of books for  home-based care workers, call 011 262 6396 or e-mail zane1@hargray.com
