Why Book Dash?
Children in South Africa need more books, but they cost too much purchased from publishers. The cheapest books have no publisher – then the only cost is printing. So our participants do the work of publishers in a single day. After that, anyone can get print runs sponsored and put finished books into the hands of children.
We believe every child should own a hundred books by the age of five. In South Africa, that means giving 600 million free books to children who could never afford to buy them. Every day we lose, more children grow up unable to read and write well, and to enjoy the worlds that books open up.

Comments on Book Dash: African Storybooks for Android
★★★★★Abigail Martinez· Sep 7, 2020
I love this. The stories are nice and the app makes it really easy to choose a book and flick to the pages. I just wish there was a way to filter or search for the right books based on age/grade... would be useful for kids who are learning or can already read by themselves.

My kids love Book dash. We read a story each every night. Some books don't download though. I love the african themed stories.

★★☆☆☆Ambresh Gawda· Jul 12, 2023
I like this app but there 20 to 30 stories so if it had more stories it was good and there should be levels like 1,2,3,4, etc
