The United Nations has launched an initiative piloting the use of e-readers in two settlements in western Tanzania. Under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UN has partnered with non-profit enterprise World-reader to provide four secondary schools in Tanzania with e-readers containing books in Swahili and English. The project will provide some 2,300 students across two settlements with access to educational reading.
From that technology, both settlements' residents and the surrounding communities will also be able to use the World-reader Mobile service, through which they can access a library of African and international books using a data-enabled mobile feature phone.
