In today's rapidly evolving world, literacy is more crucial than ever. At NABU, we are committed to breaking down barriers to reading, especially for children in underserved communities. Our innovative edtech platform delivers bilingual books designed to empower young readers and spark a lifelong love for learning.
As we continue our mission to address the global literacy crisis, NABU is thrilled to announce our selection as a 2024 Solver team in MIT Solve’s Global Learning Challenge. NABU was selected for this honor out of over 2,200 applicants. This collaboration with MIT Solve will amplify NABU’s reach, helping us scale our platform and touch the lives of even more children around the world. It also brings us an extraordinary peer network of social entrepreneurs tackling some of the world’s most systemic challenges. We look forward to deepening our relationships within this powerful peer network to share learnings, insights and support.
