Err, what? They provided 60,000 US$ worth of equipment for a school in Ghana and they consider it as a great success that this improved reading at that school? How did the control group do, the school that received 60,000 US$ for paper books?
With a breakage rate of over 40% the school would have to spend almost 25,000 US$ p.a. just to maintain the current equipment level. Without continuous external funding the project would therefore basically be dead after just two years. Can you imagine what their school library would look like if they could spend that sort of money on conventional books for a couple of years?
