The Speaking Book
Books of Hope has revolutionized health communication with people who can not read. The low level of literacy is a major problem worldwide. Illiteracy severely reduces the effectiveness of any literature distributed to the many thousands in need of health care education.
The Speaking Book is a world first, and has received many awards and nominations.
Books of Hope partnered with SADAG, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group, to design and produce interactive, multilingual Speaking Books that can be seen, read, heard and understood by the reader regardless of their reading ability.
The Speaking Book combines the latest sound chip technology featuring a sound track read by well-known local celebrities in the local language, with a durable laminated hard backed book, to take the reader on a step-by-step guide to wellness.
Books of Hope has successfully created an effective means to present complex health care issues by adapting to the culture, skills and needs of communities while encouraging them to build self confidence with a simple action plan.
