Welcome to Enlighten
10,000 Minds

Enlighten 10,000 Minds is a mission-driven initiative dedicated to promoting literacy, education, and a culture of reading across Zimbabwe. Our goal is simple yet impactful: to provide 10,000 free books to underserved communities, empowering individuals with knowledge and fostering lifelong learning.

Why This Matters

Growing up in a home filled with books, I witnessed firsthand the power of literature. My father, Dr. Charles Mungoshi, a celebrated writer, believed in sharing knowledge freely. He would joyfully give away books and engage in conversations about literature with those eager to learn. His passion inspired this movement—to make books accessible to those who need them the most.

In Zimbabwe, many people are unable to read not because they lack the ability, but because they have been led to believe reading has little value in their daily lives. Economic challenges, shifting priorities, and the lure of fast income have discouraged young people from embracing education. We aim to reverse this trend by reigniting a passion for reading and learning.

Who We Help

We are reaching out to schools, community centers, libraries, and individuals in underserved areas, where access to books is limited. Education is the foundation for transformation, and we believe that by providing books, we can inspire minds, unlock potential, and uplift entire communities.

Our Strategy

Partnering with Local Organizations

Collaborate with schools, libraries, NGOs, and government agencies to identify areas in need. Engage local authors and publishers to ensure culturally relevant books.

 

Fundraising and Sponsorships

Crowdfunding campaigns on platforms like GoFundMe. Corporate sponsorships to secure resources for distribution. Grants from international educational foundations.

Book Collection and Procurement

Collect donated books from individuals, schools, and libraries. Purchase new books, ensuring a diverse and engaging selection. Include books for different age groups and interests.

Logistics and Distribution

Secure storage and arrange reliable transportation. Set up distribution points at schools, community centers, and public libraries. Plan scheduled distribution events across different regions.

Community Engagement

Organize reading sessions and storytelling events. Host meet-and-greet sessions with authors to inspire readers. Promote literacy awareness through local media and social platforms.
