Knowledge is a human right. But while the global illiteracy rate has fallen over the past decade, millions around the world–including 250 million children–remain unable to read and write. Part of the solution is to make it easier to get books into classrooms. Today, 95 percent of the world’s population is covered by cellular networks, and access to mobile devices is increasing. Library for All, co-founded by Echoing Green Fellow Tanyella Evans, developed a low-cost digital library platform to bring ebooks and cloud-based libraries to communities in Haiti, DRC, Rwanda, Cambodia, and Mongolia – making Library For All well on its way to ensuring everyone has access to knowledge.
