Sun Books Nigeria has won a bronze in the 2025 edition of the Re-imagine Education Awards and Conference themed Mind the Gap which just concluded in London, UK.
The literacy organization ranked among the entrants in the Access, Diversity, Inclusion and Innovation category of the award that pulled in 1600 submissions in 10 categories in its 11th edition.
“The award is a testimony to Sun Books hard work in taking literacy to hard-to-reach areas, and it’s also a win for the children we work for with our low-cost edutech projects,” said Sixtus Ibekwe, marketing manager.
The event, according to category winners, has always been an experience for bringing up innovation to solve the problems that plague the current state of education, including accessibility and effectiveness.
More than 700 judges decided the winners of this year’s awards, and affirmed Sun Books’ achievement of world-class recognition in educational innovation. It also joined two other African initiatives which won in previous editions.
“The awarded application demonstrated exceptional innovation, impact, and scalability, successfully progressing through four rigorous evaluation rounds conducted by a panel of 1,300 international higher education and edutech experts,” the award team said.
An initiative of the World Literacy Foundation, Sun Books Nigeria works to eradicate child illiteracy in Africa using solar-powered digital devices that make learning and teaching easy for pupils and teachers.
No fewer than 1000 of such devices have been distributed to schools in low-resource communities in Lagos, Rivers, and Abuja, in addition to mobile libraries and other learning apps.
Among its partners are Heirs Energies, Lingokids, and others.
