Worldreader

Worldreader has a tremendously competent and committed staff who are dedicated to bring books to children. Their app is fun and easy to use. I like how they cater to children in different geographies with culturally relevant books!

Worldreader is a mission-oriented and transparent organization that values and supports the creation of reading routines as a family in the home, where learning begins. The BookSmart app is an amazing resource, with content that children and parents/caregivers love, along with simple reading activities that support reading comprehension, play based learning and social and emotional development and also promote bonding with one's child.

It's an organization that's dedicated to improving literacy by providing digital access to a wide range of books for children, families, and communities in underserved areas worldwide. I have witnessed how reading makes children reach their full potential.

Worldreader is an incredible organization with a tangible impact, transforming lives through education and equity. Their commitment to making reading accessible is both inspiring and essential in today’s ever-evolving digital world.

I work in a national library that has worked closely with world reader, lately we have been using book smart app for our family literacy forum. it had been awesome

This is my first experience working at a nonprofit organization and it has truly been a gratifying journey. Everyone is committed to doing their best work and helping to move our mission forward.

Worldreader is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to get children reading. Reading is the key in helping children succeed in life and to be able to offer it to them free in areas where it's impossible for them to get is impressive. What a wonderful organization and mission.

My daughter (3.5) and I read often on Booksmart and she asks for repeated reads of many of her favourite Worldreader books, particularly some of the Originals. She finds it easy to navigate on my phone (with my help) and loves the text-to-speech accessibility option, though I look forward to the day when Worldreader might produce their own narrator-read audiobooks if that's on the horizon, as the accessibility reader can sometimes be a little robotic. My daughter's favourite book is 'Dive! Dive! Dive! Book 2: Into the Deep' and she also enjoys 'Why is Nita Upside-Down'. Great to have a free library at our fingertips, particularly when travelling on public transport!

My granddaughter loves the books we’ve read on here. The books help foster a love of reading and nurture curiosity. They really appeal to her sense of adventure.

They work hard to find out how to get the love of reading out to children and carers, around the world!

World Reader encourages Literacy, opens the door to books and stories, and leads kids, and adults to apply ideas, innovation, progress, and basics to survival like first aid, vaccines, safety in storms and floods, basic nutrition, and even more humanity—the value of helping others, using kindness instead of force. Books gives examples of how and why to prevent global warming, save water, build practical houses, eat nutritiously, cleanliness, dig wells, make solar ovens, plant trees...setting goals, following heroes, and changing the world. It is spreading around the world, in different languages, bringing our world together.

Worldreader is a wonderful organization that serves a community in need. There goal is to make sure children are reading at their best. They use an app called booksmart that has hundreds of books in many different languages, some I’ve never even heard of before.
Keep up the good work Worldreader

Worldreader has been a global pioneer in getting books to people where paper books cannot be delivered. And getting people reading!

Worldreader is a very special organization, making its mark in so many different communities. I have supported Worldreader since 2022 and am in awe of the innovation and impact, combining reading and technology so that children have access to thousands of books at the tip of their fingers. My nieces are young readers and are captivated by the engaging stories and worlds they are transported to. I am proud to support such a wonderful organization and look forward to making a continued positive change to get kids reading.

Worldreader is an incredible organizations that gives kids around the world access to books via Booksmart, its ed-tech platform. I highly recommend supporting the work they do.

I'm a longtime donor and Worldreader is fantastic. I know where my money goes to and how it makes an impact on every child, teacher, and family in the U.S. and globally. They do great work!

As the child of two teachers, an avid reader, and a professional with 20+ years focused on building a better world – reading is the foundation for a lifetime of fulfillment. Worldreader has an incredible mission; working globally to provide children and families access to beautiful and engaging stories and the support needed to create home reading habits. I remember my dad reading to me as a child and the impact that had on my confidence, creativity and vocabulary – I hope that all children have the opportunity to read stories and build a foundation for a successful future. Worldreader is a wonderful organization and that is why I work there.

At the end of the 2020 school year, I was looking for a way to thank my son's remote teacher. I did a lot of research into literacy organizations, and Worldreader stood out among them. What an extraordinary mission! I decided to make a donation in her name, and I've been a supporter ever since.

Worldreader’s BookSmart app provides an incredible free library of digital books with great reading activities which are fun and engaging. My nieces and nephews love the books and it’s a great way to redirect screen time to something educational.

I'm an 8 year supporter of this tremendous organization. Great work, people, programs, outputs, impact. Your money really goes to work here to get kids reading. Tremendous.

Excellent organization that does incredibly admirable work. All the staff members are warm and welcoming, leadership is fantastic, and the work they do in 100+ countries by providing children and their families digital books is fantastic. I received my thank you letter immediately after given whereas I've had to wait 2-3 weeks at other organizations.

Our book club selected Worldreader as our literary charity for this year. We base our monthly donation on how many books we read collectively per month. We selected Worldreader because we believe that their vision to get books into hands of readers, especially children, is vitally important. We appreciate their work toward diverse authors, stories and languages. We think the use of using technology such mobile phones and tablets to disseminate ebooks is a smart one.

Worldreader is an organization that consistently delivers and innovates. Over the 8 years I have been involved with, and supporting World Reader, I have been constantly impressed with the technology, ease of use and content that the organization curates. What differentiates their value, is that they are creating a platform that can be economically accessible to a broad audience which expands the impact they have. I highly recommend supporting this organization based on quality of resources, innovation, and measurable success. They are truly making a difference in developing readers in large swaths of often underserved communities across our global community. Not only do the individuals who can read as a result of World Reader programs gain an increased sense of self worth, but because they are often reading as families, World Reader is strengthening core values and family time.

Access to equitable education and reading opportunities is key to building fairer societies. Worldreader harnesses the power of both stories and technology to get every child reading. What's not to support?

WorldReader has proven itself as a reliable, consistent, and compassionate supporting force in the fight to expand education everywhere. I have had great experiences with this organization and will continue to support it.

I support Worldreader because it addresses one of the key barriers to solving the reading crisis. Paper books don't scale. With Worldreader's BookSmart app, children around the world can read hundreds of digital books in many languages right from a phone or tablet.

I truly recommend this site if you want to expand your mind through reading. Its vast database of readable books is something I check out quite frequently. And it's free, and available to all !!! I love the concept, mission, and application of this project.

As an avid reader, I love the idea of sharing books, and the digital delivery model is a great way to do it!

Worldreader is doing amazing work to promote a culture of reading in communities around the world. Not only do they provide an app with culturally and linguistically varied books, but they also provide wraparound services to help teachers and parents integrate the app into their classrooms and lives.

As a reading champion with a passion for education I wish every underserved family could make the Worldreader app a part of each day. Worldreader is building partnerships with reading champions like TV Personality Donna Lowery and former New England Patriot Malcom Mitchell to make reading a daily family habit in Atlanta.

Children are able to read stories in their mother language

Our first contact as publisher with World Reader was in 2011/2012, when their officer came to Tanzania to introduce the organization and find out if we were willing to cooperate with them in their noble task of providing books to children who need them all over the world. Since then, and based on the impact WR has registered in accessing books to children and adults in schools and communities, we, at E & D always confirm to ourselves that working with World Reader was among the best decisions we have made. World Reader has many strengths that continue to keep their partners with them: Innovative thinking, quick to adapt technology to fit emerging needs, good selection of stories that speak to children wherever they are, quick response to special needs, particularly demonstrated in this period of COVID pandemic, timely reporting and updating, and most importantly, high respect for readers and partners as shown through communication. This is not to say they have done it all, but rather, their success so far reflects possibilities that await a future full of potential. We at E & D Vision Publishing Limited continue to believe in the work of World Reader.

I really admire the work that Worldreader does. As a writer a avid reader, I think it's important to promote literacy all over the world and get books to children who might not otherwise have access. I have donated my work to Worldreader before and will do so again. The organisation has worked tirelessly to bring books to those in need during the pandemic.

It has helped bridge gaps that have existed yet overlooked by nation states of the world. Thanks you world reader for your work in Kenya and Ghana.

I am impressed by the model WorldReader has created, especially using phones, striking deals with authors and publishers, and especially commissioning books by local authors. I was also pleased to have the opportunity to speak to the fund-raising team recently.

We have a nonprofit organization. Nonprofit organization work for people.

I have been a fan of electronic books for more than 15 years after suffering a fire which destroyed my home. I lost everything including my vast book collection. So when I heard that World Reader was dedicated to getting electronic books into the hands of children in schools where transportation of physical books was difficult, for so many reasons, I knew this was a non profit I wanted to support. The stories that are shared of the successes in remote parts of the world, the children who have been inspired to read and write their own stories, how World Reader has overcome one of the greatest difficulties faced in the education of children, arming them with material from their own culture, giving them information about others, inspiring them to read more. We know that children are future adults, and education is the tool that helps them reach their true potential, World Reader is one of the most inspiring non profits out there, it uses technology that doesn't require a lot of electricity, the Kindle eReader, and each eReader can hold thousands of books. The insight of its founders in using this tool is extraordinary.

Compromiso con la niñez a través del uso de tecnología.

Angel Covers (angelcovers.org) bought a group of readers from Worldreader for Humble Hearts School for the Deaf in Nairobi, Kenya, several years ago. They were loaded with about 100 books and have proved invaluable in enriching students' learning experience.

Nothing is more important to learning than Reading and daily I get to witness the commitment of everyone at Worldreader to Keep Children Reading!

I’ve known Worldreader since the day it was born. The enthusiasm and the vision of its founders has changed the lives of so many young students all around the world!

Thanks to Worldreader education has reached communities that otherwise would have never had the chance to learn. Talented girls and boys have found through Worldreader an opportunity to become relevant and to contribute in changing the world for the good. Bravo!!

We have been regular supporters since we saw a piece on Worldreader on 60 Minutes some years back. We love the philosophy and appreciate the regular updates, especially since they come as inspiring information with no pleas for increasing our donations. We are impressed with their book lists and have shared them with friends and tachers.

It's truly amazing to see how Worldreader impacts the lives of children all around the world through books. It feels good to support such a committed and impactful organization.

This is the one non profit organization of its type.doing a great job by providing quality books to the children, who çan not afford them.

I'm a Library Science student and I'm putting together a project to distribute digital readers to a community. So that we can analyze the impact on the quality of reading and learning in the city

I really connect with the mission of this charity. Reading is a passion of mine and I really enjoyed the "book club" meeting I attended.

The company I work for sponsors Worldreader because of the importance of its mission but also because of the effectiveness of its efforts. One of the most satisfying aspects of the relationship is the ability to participate. It's more than just giving money. It's also helping store and package the tablets, working hand-in-hand with Worldreader staff and volunteers to get the reading tablets to those needing them most. The gift of literacy is so valuable, it is rewarding to help others achieve it.

My company, Wine Direct, sponsors and supports the Worldreader program. We do not do this casually. It is clear to us that Worldreader is true to its mission and its word. It supports a cause that we believe in and our hope is to continue our involvement going forward. Worldreader makes a positive global impact.

As a children's writer who loves kids, I fell in love with Worldreader the first moment I heard about them! Imagine an organization whose aim was to reach every child in the world with good things to read! I had dreamed of such... and now they were doing it! And smartly in a literacy and publishing field that was then (and still is now) ensconced in the physical/paper, they were developing the best in digital and instantaneous delivery and accessibility!

And, I may add, these are really good people, devoted to their work...Please support/collaborate/create Worldreader! I'm delighted I am!

Books and a love of reading can open up the whole world to anyone, anywhere. That’s certainly been true for me, thanks to a mom who instilled that love in me early and to the public libraries and bookmobiles in our hometown. So being able to be a small part of spreading that same joy and opportunity by supporting the mission of Worldreader is yet another blessing for me, and I am grateful.

Worldreader is changing the world! Without reading children do not stand a chance of success in school, life, and later career. 18 million people around the world have been touched by Worldreader with 982 million to go. They will not stop until the whole world is reading.

I make regular donations to Worldreader and receive updates on their work. Whenever I feel a feel a bit low and the world seems a gloomy place I visit their website and see what they've been up to and I feel more positive. The concept is so clever and empowering: giving children and families direct access to a virtual library in their own hands, a library stocked with books that are relevant to their community and culture. I love that e-reader technology makes it more affordable to produce books that are relevant to communities that wouldn't have the buying power that would drive hard copy publishing and distribution. I find it quite moving to think of children developing a love of reading and learning that is valuable in its own right, but also sets them up for better life chances. Amazing.

In developing countries like Zimbabwe books are a luxury . Schools do not have enough textbooks and other reading material. It is fortunate that some books are pirated and these are sold cheaply in the streets. I think that's where world reader comes in, providing e-books to the underpriviledged

I got involved with Worldreader a few years ago to support a library in Malindi, Kenya who desperately wanted to start using Worldreader in their community. I then started fundraising for Worldreader, which culminated in a climb of Kilimanjaro with 8 others last year which raised over $250K. It's been a honor and a privilege to be involved with such an incredible non-profit. The team are all unbelievably inspirational and passionate about what they are doing. I'm hoping to continue to be involved for many years to come.

Helping children and adults enjoy reading... literally!

Worldreader does a terrific job at cultivating broad and localised literacy content for a cause that couldn't be more important in today's world.

It's the best site I go to when I want to read ebooks. The books are interesting and free!!!!

When my book "Patience Pays"was incorparated in the world reader i was happy that many young readers would get to read my book and also learn from it.The gadget has helped me reach a wider range of readers helping me feel erated that children can read and get informed on various issues highlighted in my book

Worldreader is bringing the love of reading to the smallest child in the farest corner of the world these days at that's amazing! However that's not all they're doing! Since they first started those children have grown and are using their literacy to become a bigger part of our world and that is what it's all about!

I always try to direct my (relatively modest) charitable donations to organizations that attack problems at the root level. By helping raise a generation of literate people, WorldReader is going squarely at providing a fundamental piece of the solution to global poverty, ignorance, overpopulation, and women's and basic human rights.

To my mind they're pretty much the platonic ideal of a well run charity with a clear and actionable mission.

I have been following Worldreader for some years now, back in the days when providing of any digital reading to the global south was only made for visionaries. And wow! so great to see them adding new digital reading innovative ways to help undeserved communities have access to life-changing books!

WorldReader is run by an exceptionally qualified team. Providing access to books and the power of reading to the world's most feels more important than ever during times such as these. Shout out to Worldreader's Founder and CEO for sharing his love of reading with the world's most vulnerable.

Childhood is incomplete without stories. Worldreader is ensuring and enriching a colourful childhood for millions of children worldwide with a curated collection of age appropriate and context aligned books.

I have watched Worldreader grow into a truly worldwide effort to promote and facilitate reading. As a librarian I know from experience that reading changes lives for the better. Access to books is an obvious but difficult first step. The world is lucky to have this NGO

So many of us are wondering what we can do for others during this pandemic. It gave me a good feeling to know that I was helping in some small way. Thank you for what you do!

Well run. Communicative. Caring. Creative. Worldreader has identified a fundamental building block for human success - reading - and is ensuring that millions of kids access material that is culturally relevant to them.

Since my knowledge about Worldreader began on the 13th of December 2012, l have been impressed by their nonprofit humanitarian works of providing ebooks to underprivileged children and young adults via kindle and smartphone especially in Third World countries.
I found out the organisation is very straightforward in its dealings with authors that contribute ebooks to its global literacy programmes. I also enjoyed various pictures and reports about its activities among local folks in Asia and African countries that have benefitted so far from ebooks shared to them.
I will continue to support Worldreader with any new relevant eBook l write in line with its areas of interest.
I wish Worldreader founders and their loyal staff the best they deserve in their continuous literacy programme for underprivileged children and young adults, always.
Cheers!

My experience with Worldreader has been nothing short of amazing and helpful. Just a year ago, I discovered this platform which helps to improve the reading habit of youngsters across Africa especially in Ghana, Kenya, and other countries. The books are nothing but amazing and full of life lessons. I have never spotted a crappy book on Worldreader.
However, I would love it if Worldreader extended their accessibility to laptops and computers. This is because, a lot of school students have laptops, so they may need to read there. However, the website isn't available to laptops. Please, Worldreader. I've sent you this request before, but you didn't get back to me.
Please look into my query and work on it. I'm sure it'd boost your traffic and spread your message for reading and extend your help to a lot of people across the world.
Counting on your cooperation,
Thank You!

Worldreader is indeed a great organisation helping in the promotion of literacy through electronic books. Kudos to the Worldreader Team

Learning by reading is one of the most pleasurable and thoughtful experiences that we have as a civilization. Giving this opportunity to tens of thousands of people in order to expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them is a wonderful achievement. I am very proud to support Worldreader and everything they are doing to make this world a better, more humane place to live.

I first became interested in Worldreader because I knew the founder (from a distance) through a job I had years ago. The organization not only does top-notch , ambitious work around the world, but they do it with professionalism not found at many nonprofits.

Our foundation has supported a few specific initiatives, a library in Kenya, etc. I traveled with them to Ghana for a digital reading conference three years ago and can attest that the amazing work and the impact it makes on the lives of readers around the world is real.

I have been a donor to Worldreader for eight years. It is a well-run organization with a powerful idea on how to bring reading and reading materials to under-served parts of the world--with digital books on tablets and phones, often written in the local language. The world opens up to those who read and have appropriate material to read. Worldreader is bringing the gift of reading to those often lacking this resource.

This summer I had the privilege of sponsoring 2 e-reader projects at 2 primary schools in western Uganda run by the Nyaka Aids Orphans Project. The difficulty and high cost of sourcing books in rural Africa had been impressed upon me on previous trips and so when by chance I came across an article about Worldreaders work my interest was piqued and the possibility of matching our needs with Worldreader's vision gradually over a course of mails and conversations flourished and became a reality. The meticulous planning and guidance from the outset to implementation was both enjoyable and rewarding but never more so than when our children received their readers and after a short training station were able to open a book and read a story written by an African author. The children we are educating are from seriously impoverished backgrounds but now have the chance to incorporate innovative reading technology into their school lives which we hope will stand them in good stead to play their part in a technology-savvy future ahead. In an ideal world, I would love to see the schools in rural Africa brimming with books but at least Worldreader has made reading accessible to many for a relatively small investment. From the point of view of a donor, it represents astounding value for money, 10,000 books on 50 small devices and at little more than a dollar each, the fact they will be read countless times makes it excellent value for money.

When I attended the parents day at Nganana primary school, exactly three months after the school benefited from the e-readers project, I heard a grade four boy reading aloud a story in Kiswahili from the e-reader. The parents and his fellow students understood the story well and clapped for him after he finished reading. The head teacher of the school then testified that this boy could not read a complete sentence in Kiswahili before the e-readers came to the school. He was in grade four but still could not read. He went on to say the e-reader kits excited him since they got to the school. He would read daily stories and since then his reading has improved. I believed what I saw and was fulfilled to volunteer onto this project, realizing this huge impact in such a short time. As a PhD student, it was very frustrating and painful to see a forthcoming generation of kids who up to grade four could not read a sentence properly due to shortage of books in their schools. I did not take a second thought to volunteer working on this project that the university I study was in partnership with Worldreader on the e-readers project.

This is the reality, indeed there is no need of another African solution to fight illiteracy in rural schools. The kits have books in our local language, Kiswahili for Mathematics, Science and stories all in Kiswahili. We are indeed privileged to have Worldreader in Tanzania in the secluded rural schools of Nganana and Nambala in Arusha region of Tanzania. Thank you David and your dream team. Worldreader is a unique organization, they do not only ship the kits to beneficiaries but they physically reach these rural areas and spend time with the beneficiaries despite the tough conditions in the areas. I recall the launch at Nganana school was during the rain season and the roads were inaccessible by car. David on the lead and the Worldreader team in rain boots walked half a mile to reach the school and had experience with the kids and teachers on the e-readers.
Keep up the good work. Books for All indeed.

Every day at Imtimigom Primary School in Kilgoris, Kenya, students form a line snaking out of the office door to pick up 100+ Kindles. They choose to read through recess, rather than play football. We've seen an amazing transformation in student knowledge and performance (in English and Kiswahili) through our partnership with WorldReader. Kudos to all!

As a volunteer, I went to Adeiso where I helped the kids of primary 4 with reading comprehension. It was sad that they were not bolder to speak their own minds but the WorldReader initiative is a brilliant solution to this very behavior: the kids will learn to read and will be able to read about others who spoke their minds, people who boldly and nobly accepted that they were wrong and corrected their positions with neither shame nor fear; they will see the nobility in speaking and hearing others. Besides, books allow the human spirit to expand beyond its physical limits with minimal use of resources. These for me illustrate what a useful project is WorldReader.

And, it does not matter about black/white, African/non-African solutions, it is a great big connected world and we can all use the help as humans make human solutions to human problems. We are all we have and cooperation is at the very peak of what we must do.

This is not just another American/European CRAZY idea to solve African problem. It is certainly not hype! It is an innovation plat form you can believe in.

Worldreader is just one actor in this network. I have worked for/with NGOs before but Worldreader is one of the few I am willing to support and write a review on. More importantly because of the passion and commitment of the organisation and its staff in trying to make school children in developing world learn how to read and read better.

My first encounter with Worldreader was through a simple e-mail from one of its volunteers'. I am currently a lecturer at of one of the Nelson Mandela African Institutions of Science and Technology. Here we want to make a difference for society and industry. We believe it is possible to make fundamental difference if we support lower level education, particularly primary and secondary schools. What is more important than to make school kids know how to read and read better? So independently we developed using the concept of living labs a programme to support learning in schools through information and communication technology.

Then the question was how do you succeed in a terrain where even the most noble idea like the one-laptop per child project failed. When worldreader mention that they can provide low cost e-reader, I immediately thought we got the seed, mark my use of the word 'seed' here! Our collaboration with Worldreader allowed us to put over 30000 books in the hands of about 1000 school children. A lot has since taken place since the launch of our project in May, 2013. If you have read this far you can even see this link http://arushalivinglab.wordpress.com/.

What I am trying to say here is, don't look at Worldreader as the ultimate solution to your problem, instead look at it as one of the spoke you will need to make a better education wheel for Africa. Supporting education in Africa is not the work of one NGO; it is going to be the effort of a diverse network of actors. Worldreader is trying to bring the network together - African publishers, teachers, childrens, leaders, other NGOs, private sector etc. African books are used, they support innovative local ideas. You are not certified, welcome to visit us in Arusha, Tanzania and let us give you a little hint of becoming a game changer in African education.

On a personal note. When it comes to education I have defied the odd - an outlier or just the product of a blind watchmaker? I studied in the war zone of northern Uganda and I know what difference access to textbooks can make even if it is half charred by rebel fire. One day I will write a book about my education. For now lets help those who are caught up in this situation. Let them learn how to read and read better. Hopefully we can produce better scientist, engineers, leaders, researchers, economist etc in Africa. Don't wait for some absurd phenomenon of "African solution by Africans" to occur by chance. Use what you have now to make a difference. Thanks to David and team at Worldreader kids who could have failed in final exams are now able to write a story book of their own.

Of course we need great leaders in Africa but don't just wait until they drop from heaven. Start making one, making children and reader better is one way.

I volunteered for Worldreader for a period of about 1 year. During this time, I got the chance to mentor my peers to have a smooth education. Though encouraging and facilitating the art of reading is the main mission for Worldreader, the organization also endeavours to connect their wards with important institutions like Ashesi University College (The Harvard of Ghana).
During my volunteering year, I met different people from Ghana and beyond who helped the students build skills in writing, reading, oral communication, and even sports. For me, Worldreader is not just about reading, but about helping young unprivileged students realise their latent potentials.

Worldreader is also culturally conscious: Many of the books on the kindles used by their Ghanaian wards are texts written by Ghanaians. Worldreader has also helped computerize and simplify the work of teachers by converting most of the then hard copy textbooks into pdfs. Unlike other organizations, I believe worldreader learns from the people and bases upon collected facts to engineer a curriculum that best suits the life and culture of the people.

Worldreader is not only about helping read, but about a group of critical minds at work to help young people find their power in many spheres of life. It has been a great experience volunteering for Worldreader, and I envy the kids having free e-readers, lol.

I volunteered to work with worldreader because i believed so much in what they were doing and continue to do. I know the impact reading has had on my life and i believed strongly that the same impact will be had on the lives of these lovely kids if books were made more accessible. Thanks to worldreader and the introduction of the amazon kindle, these kids not only have access to books but tons of them, all at no cost.
HOW AWESOME IS THAT!

I have visited the Worldreader project site a number of times and I think you don't even know the tremendous impact you are making in both the lives of the children and the community has a whole. I myself I am a user of the Worldreader Mobile app which allows me to read books for free on my mobile phone. I really like what you are doing and continue your good works.

Don't believe the Hype!

We need an African solution to this problem. It is Africans who truely understand the educational problems and have answers to them not an European or Americans solution
