eKitabu is not a game in the traditional sense but rather a non-profit organization focused on providing digital books to children in East Africa. Their core mission revolves around improving literacy rates and access to educational resources by making ebooks available in local languages and formats suitable for low-bandwidth environments. They partner with publishers, authors, and technology providers to create and distribute a diverse library of culturally relevant content.

The "game" aspect, if one can call it that, lies in the engagement with the reading material itself. eKitabu aims to make reading a more accessible and enjoyable experience, thereby fostering a love of learning among children who may not otherwise have access to books. While there aren't explicit game mechanics like points or levels, the inherent challenge of mastering literacy and the reward of discovering new stories and knowledge can be seen as a form of gameplay. Their work contributes significantly to educational development by leveraging digital technology to overcome geographical and economic barriers to literacy. They focus on providing high-quality, locally relevant content that resonates with the children they serve, promoting both literacy skills and cultural understanding.
