Rava Zimbabwe Rava Trust (which means Read Zimbabwe Read in English) was set up to inspire and motivate a reading culture for self-development and to empower the general public.

“We believe this will positively change mindsets and empower the people and society to do their best in all endeavours of life,” the founder, Alfred Munonyara, said.

The trust sources self-improvement/motivational/spiritual books and magazines and sells them on at a reduced rate. It aims to provide disadvantaged communities with the opportunity to read. It is committed to stocking public libraries, prisons, mines and high density suburbs around the country with books and computer equipment.

“The main function of our trust is sourcing and providing books as well as advocating a reading culture through various initiatives. In order to achieve these objectives Rava Zimbabwe Rava Trust will source funding by appealing for support from individuals, both within and without the country, civil society, charity organisations, and business corporations to donate towards reading,” said Munonyara.

Rava Zimbabwe Rava is also carrying out a status audit of all libraries. Librarians in charge of both private and public libraries have been asked to contact the organisation on 0722410333 or email info@ravazimrava.com.
