ekitabu is developing an open source and cross-platform e-reading app, that provides better access to learning for children with disabilities.Today, students with disabilities in developing countries do not have enough books to read. For children with vision impairment, the app reads ebooks aloud. For the deaf or hard of hearing individuals, the app includes videos with local sign language.

In collaboration with UNICEF Innovation Fund and UNICEF Kenya, eKitabu is developing open source tools to create accessible digital content and measure impact, leaving no one behind in SDG #4—inclusive and quality education for all. Kenya, where eKitabu was founded in 2012, is poised to transition to a digital value chain for books. The government's Digital Literacy Programme is distributing tablets, laptops and content to every public primary school countrywide. At the same time, Kenya’s national reading program, Tusome, supported by USAID, DFID and All Children Reading, has laid groundwork for a transformation in literacy education, teacher training, and assessment. eKitabu’s e-reading app has been designed together with African teachers, students, and content producers in accordance with open standards for accessibility to deliver local, government-approved textbooks and storybooks.
