Over the past five years, the impact of our work has spread across 22 African countries, working collaboratively with in-country library partners. The continental focus of our work presents a unique opportunity to strategically collaborate with key stakeholders in the library ecosystem across African countries. Through Thrive Library, a library-tech company offering Library setup, Library Management Systems & E-Libraries, and Library Development Financing for K12 schools, our goal is a library in every school.
