No Electricity, No Literacy

Try to imagine life without searching online, watching TV, talking on the phone, or even having a local library to visit. How would you get by? Where would you turn to learn new information? Amazingly, this is the reality for millions of people.


The Talking Book

We built the world’s most affordable and durable audio device, designed specifically for people who cannot read and who live without electricity. Think of it like a small touch pad computer that enables local experts to spread information to the most inaccessible communities on earth.

How You Can Help

This year we plan to put 1,000 Talking Books in the hands of families, farmers, and students. People will be able to listen to information any time they need it, enabling them to increase crop yields, prevent disease, and improve their literacy skills. But in order to do this, we need need your help.
