The innovative concept that helps to provide cheap & functional libraries in African countries
Location
Libraries are really needed where there is a strong lack of education. Samburu in Kenya is one of these places.
There are not many schools in the whole country, especially in small villages, but children and young people still need knowledge, it's extremely important for the young brain.
African kids got used to difficult living conditions, so they don't need a fancy library with luxury design and elegant furniture. All they need is just a Roof above the head to protect from the sun and rain, Walls to protect from the cold wind, Electricity to have some light during the night, Few tablets to reach Internet, and Tones of Books.
So our library will give them all that they need. We are using Local Wood to provide the frame, 3d-printed Panels to make a roof, Solar Panels & Tesla Power Packs to provide electricity, and Recycled Plastic to make furniture.
