Iminikelo / Donations
Siyafunda Online is the home of the book, Siyafunda: isiZulu. Based on a conversation with his mother, about the shortage of books written in vernacular, Siya Masuku wrote, illustrated and self-published a book which teaches the phonetics of the isiZulu alphabet. 280 copies of Siyafunda: isiZulu were donated to Emseni Primary School on the day of the book launch in November 2016. More than 100 books have been donated to children less fortunate to date.
Through this experience, Siya’s passion for the arts and early childhood development keeps him dedicated to creating better opportunities for children to learn in their mother-tongue. There’s a culture of reading which needs to be internalised in our daily lives, integrated as part of our fun activities. By including all indigenous African languages, we hope to reach out to the majority of learners of this continent in order for them to have better opportunities by learning in their mother-tongue.
Given that Siya’s first language is isiZulu, he does not have the capacity to create content in other languages himself. This has led to a need to include storytellers of other African languages. Therefore, Siyafunda Online aims to be the go-to platform for any producer of indigenous content to share their works.
With your contribution, the proceeds will help create more high-quality content for everybody who’s looking for authentic African content. If you wish to be a part of this dream, make a donation by pressing the button below and share with your community.
