Who We Are.

Our philosophical bedrock is in the ability of the pensulo (pencil) to be broken and shared among users to encourage many would-be writers to record their culture. Our phrase “How can it be hidden if it was written by Africans themselves?” is a response to the stereotype, “If you want to hide something from an African, put it in a book.”

We aim to significantly contribute to the elimination of illiteracy in Zambia and beyond as well as promulgate the preservation of African cultural knowledge. We are also vested in raising the bar of excellence in production and printing of Zambian and African books to international quality.

Vision

To become a world leader in publishing, printing, and bookselling.

Mission

To inspire investment of significant corporate efforts in raising African literacy levels to world-class standards.
