Books in Nuer
These 60 children's storybooks were developed for the Nuer Literacy Initiative, a collaboration between Nuer speakers across the globe, the universities of Surrey and Edinburgh, and African Storybook.
Every book can be accessed for free online, using your phone, laptop or tablet. So far, 19,500 free books have been distributed to schools, churches, community groups and refugee camps in South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.
