E-Libraries for Post-Earthquake Ecuador
Organization information
Libraries Without Borders
Location: Washington, United States of America
Summary
In 2016 a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake severely affected Coaque, an under-resourced Ecuadorian community. In 2017, Tufts International Development, partnered with Libraries Without Borders and Avanti, created learning spaces where we set up digital servers and laptops and trained local residents on how to use the technology to lead capacity-building activities. We are currently focused on the sustainable continuation of this pilot program as well as beginning our search towards expansion.
