Simbi has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to improve the literacy landscape for refugees in Bidibidi & Nakivale, Uganda. These two refugee settlements are home to more than 400,000 people and we are implementing Simbi throughout these settlements to improve reading fluency. We need your help to narrate more children’s short stories to provide culturally relevant storybooks for these refugee learners.

What is Simbi?
Simbi is an online reading platform that helps learning readers become reading leaders by empowering them to use their voice to narrate stories to support others who are learning to read.
Reading leaders are motivated to read stories aloud, improving their own reading skills, while understanding that they’re supporting 40,000 others who are learning to read globally.
Learning readers of all ages and stages follow along to their voice with our digital highlighter, a proven technique to improve reading ability, and can improve their reading fluency two-fold in as little as three months.
Best of all, educators are able to listen-in to learners’ reading skills development, track progress, and tailor reading assignments.
