As many as 10,000 people have been impacted by Project LEAP (Libraries, E-Reading, Activities and Partnership). Free ebooks on e-readers in libraries are increasing reading in Africa.

The baseline report of Project LEAP (Libraries, e-Reading, Activities and Partnership), seeking to improve reading in Africa, was led by Worldreader in eight libraries in Kenya, and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Andrew Ochieng was in Kilgoris (Kenya), where Ntimigom Primary School is located, and he explains how e-readers are changing the education of these young students. It was broadcasted by Kenya CitizenTV and uploaded to their Youtube channel.

"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.
