Let's Read Maldives

In the Maldives, Let’s Read supports literacy and the preservation of Dhivehi language and culture by expanding access to high-quality children’s literature through a free digital library. Launched in 2020, the platform has grown to include nearly 200 books in Dhivehi and recorded more than 71,000 reads and downloads in 2025. Working with local writers, illustrators, educators, and partner institutions, the initiative provides engaging, culturally relevant reading materials for children across the country. It marks the transition from the long-running Books for Asia program, which operated for more than 30 years in the Maldives and helped improve access to books and educational resources across the country.
