Our work in East Africa
Join us to strengthen cultures of reading among
children and youth across the region.
LEAP
As part of LEAP (Libraries, e-Reading, Activities and Partnership) and LEAP 2.0, Worldreader worked with knls to bring e-readers filled with relevant content as well as training to all 61 public libraries in Kenya. Since the launch of LEAP and LEAP 2.0, the libraries have reached readers far beyond the walls of the library with outreach efforts and they have contributed towards creating cultures of reading in their surrounding communities.
Anasoma
The 2-year Anasoma project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to promote gender equality by increasing women and girls’ access to an online library to boost their empowerment and assertiveness. As part of the project, Worldreader acquired and commissioned new content aimed at challenging social norms and redefining the traditional stereotypes around what it means to be a woman.
We work with the highest quality of local and international
publishing partners to bring the right books to our readers.
Together, with our partners, we’re able to
reach more and more readers every day.
Worldreader is seeking partners looking to scale their impact in West Africa.
We welcome the opportunity to collaborate as we help
strengthen communities through digital reading.
