Read to Impact

It's 12 days to Ubuntu: We Read. We Rise!
And if you've been wondering what this is all about, here's everything you need to know.

So, head over to the RTI Lounge (click on the link in our bio) to sign up, join the challenge, and track your reading progress.

This June, thousands of young Africans across 30+ countries are picking up books together. We'd love you to be one of them.

Ubuntu: We Read. We Rise. is Read to Impact's June reading challenge, a one-month structured read on the themes that shape so much of our lives right now: identity, career, finance, mental health, and healing.

You pick your books. We do the journey together. Four weeks, from 1 to 28 June 2026.

This is also where we're officially opening the doors of The Lounge, our new home for documenting your reading life. Your TBR, your reading log, your streaks, and more, all in one place.

To take part:

✅ Head to https://readtoimpact.org/lounge
✅ Sign up, sign in, set up your profile
✅ Indicate you're joining the challenge and log your TBR

Participants stand a chance to win book vouchers, reading win app subscriptions, and earn special recognition. And you'll be reading alongside a global community of booklovers.

Many thanks to MyLibri Books for making this one possible.

Are you ready for Ubuntu?

We read. We rise.

We're excited to welcome as Read to Impact's Official Digital Reading Partner for 2026.

MyLibri is a subscription-based digital library giving readers access to a growing catalogue of books.

Starting this year, they'll be integrated into our reading challenges, community programming, and events across RTI's spaces.

This partnership makes the community stronger. More on what this means for you as we roll things out.

Welcome to the family, MyLibri Books.

Every book is a new world waiting to be explored. The more you read, the more you grow — in wisdom, creativity, and empathy.
