Masiphumelele Library and Masiphumelele Clinic are working together to run an eight-week antenatal programme. The first session was held on 4 June. The programme centered on the 1000 Stories Before School initiative. Ncebakazi and Yonela presented on 1000 Stories Before School . This 1000 Stories Before school campaign gave pregnant moms deeper knowledge about how 1000 Stories Before School can benefit them and their children, including their unborn babies.

*Week 2- 11 June 202*

We focused on health care. A nurse from Masiphumelele Library gave pregnant moms-to-be health information. She made them aware of what they would experience now that they are pregnant, what is normal and what is not normal, and encouraged them to seek medical help if they notice anything that could put their unborn babies in danger.

No matter what situation you’re in, books can give you the courage to stand up for yourself. Read Steve Biko’s I Write What I Like to learn how one young man changed South African history with his words.

Discover A Short History of South Africa to understand where we come from and where we can go. Explore This Book Is Gay to find pride in your identity and strength in your truth.

📖 Come to the library this week. Pick a book. Find your power. Speak up.

🌊✨ What an inspiring day at Masiphumelele Library! Our "Water Wellness and Sanitation for Seniors" event brought together elders and experts from the Water and Sanitation Department for an informative session on essential services.

Seniors actively engaged, sharing their concerns about meters and more, fostering real dialogue for better community solutions. Big thanks to Lubabalo Peter for seamless translation from English to isiXhosa, ensuring everyone followed along.

Grateful for these partnerships that empower our seniors! 💧👏
