EduSpots
EduSpots (registered in Ghana and the UK), is a charitable organisation that creates, connects and empowers pupils, teachers and community changemakers in Ghana and the UK who believe in the power of education as a tool for change. Formally called Reading Spots, the organisation changed its name as it expanded beyond building libraries, providing books and promoting reading to nurturing social entrepreneurs, improving literacy and STEM education, and increasing global citizenship and development education. The organisation supports communities in Ghana and other West African countries to create inclusive and community owned education ‘spots’ often powered by solar, whilst nurturing deeper reflection on ethical and sustainable development in the global context, through conferences, online courses, training and social entrepreneurship.
