WE careD for the planet while enabling digital reading

Solar-Powered E-readers

In 2015, we partnered with BBOXX and now offer a solar solution that will enable all schools, everywhere, to get e-readers even if they have no access to electricity. We've already launched this solar solution in nearly 100 schools and libraries across Africa.

E-waste

In 2015, we partnered with City Waste Recycling, an e-waste management company in Ghana’s capital, who ensure that devices are recycled properly. So far we’ve processed over 700 e-readers.
