Libraries are important as they specifically assist in addressing illiteracy and numeracy, in particular, amongst the disadvantaged living in abject poverty with no facilities to ensure that they become meaningful members of society.
So libraries are
kind of important
WHY SOUTH AFRICANS MUST SHOUT AND WORK TOWARD A BETTER SOCIETY.
The path away from poverty to prosperity and philanthropy will be achieved through EDUCATION. To rectify the gross inequality in our society can only be achieved when we all begin to realise that the nurturing and investment in our youth will create a better future for our beautiful homeland.

SHOUT for a Safer South Africa was founded in 2007 by musicians Danny K and Kabelo Mabalane following the murder of Lucky Dube, as a registered Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) and BEE certified charity.
Since then, SHOUT has established itself as one of South
Africa’s most recognizable and credible movements against
crime and violence. At its core, it believes in active citizenship
and playing a part in moving South Africa forward.
