Several years ago Lewis Willoughby learnt about the impact that access to books have on childhood literacy development as well as the cultural impacts of illiteracy.

After studying the topic for some time, it became apparent that some of those at the highest risk of illiteracy are located in remote areas of developing nations, often also suffering from a lack of reliable supply chains and in many cases extreme energy poverty.

Wanting to help make a difference and help to solve the unique challenges in improving literacy and learning in these developing nations, Lewis began researching ways he could harness his technical background to develop a solution to this growing problem.
