NABU

The global non-profit organization NABU works to create a bridge to equality, one mother tongue story at a time. Astea Solutions proudly took part in NABU’s journey as an exclusive technology partner supporting NABU’s mission with the development of NABU’s storytelling platform.

In countries like Haiti, Rwanda, or the Democratic Republic of Congo, books are often in a foreign language and lack cultural relevance. NABU builds a bridge to literacy by offering children free and captivating stories in their mother tongue, helping them rise to their full potential. To achieve this on a large scale, NABU entrusted Astea with the task to design and develop its proprietary publishing and content delivery platform.

The storytelling platform supports a collection of books available in English, French, Haitian Creole, Kinyarwanda, Swahili, and Lingala. Books in NABU’s library cover all reading levels so that children can move up to more complex levels gradually according to their abilities. The reader mobile app also supports analytics that provides insights into content distribution and the reading progress of users. Astea’s team works alongside NABU to make this possible in areas with limited or no internet access. To date, the platform offers over 2,000 books and has reached over 30,000 readers and their families in Rwanda and Haiti.

NABU’s proprietary publishing and content delivery platform contains culturally responsive, mother-tongue stories aimed at improving literacy rates among children. NABU is committed to providing worldwide equitable access to literacy resources by 2030, supporting early childhood education and enhancing reading engagement. Their platform includes books available in multiple languages, leveraging technology to reach underserved communities worldwide.
