Design Specifications
Nabu.org is a cloud-based digital library platform that targets to give children access to books in their mother tongue. It is a storytelling platform that gives local creators a global voice and allows children to access books for free using an app. Nabu.org brings together book creators who create books in the mother tongue, and publishes them on its digital platforms.

The app is optimized for use in a low-bandwidth environment and for online access, allowing it to be used in places with limited internet access. Nabu.org champions mother tongue stories in an order to enhance learning and eradicate illiteracy. The digital library is more cost-effective and sustainable than building physical libraries and it includes a publisher portal and an analytics system for gathering reader data and monitoring effectiveness long-term.
