Hear what co-founder David Risher has to say about the Digital Reading Summits in Accra, Ghana and Nairobi, Kenya.

Worldreader, a global literacy nonprofit organization, has organized the Digital Reading Summit for the past two years in Africa. The purpose of this conference is to bring together publishers, e-reader project managers, educational professionals, non-profit organizations, and government officials, interested in building the future of digital reading.

"Doris, a teenager living in Africa's largest slum in the middle of Nairobi, Kenya, has the odds stacked against her. But, she has learned to cope, find a tune to dance to and dream big. E-books and Kindles have found their way to her school and they have planted a seed of hope. They give her a sense of freedom, keep her mind busy and urge her to study more diligently so she can one day become a doctor. Books matter to Doris-- a lot. Help us reach even more girls like Doris.
