For the six young co-founders who were still students when they conceived this idea, the initial capital was from their savings that they put together to open the doors of Agati Library with less than 200 books in April 2018. They saved and worked towards one same goal. The following years have seen the library grow, and the team has moved from being enthusiastic and dynamic youth to strategic thinkers working towards the library’s sustainability. The pandemic has presented unique challenges, but it has been an opportunity to adapt planning to keep driving demand towards reading and it has been an important learning moment that has inspired diverse programs such as the Agati Mobile Library, Nge Nawe Dusome Radio Program, Himba Young Writers Competition, Young Writers Workshops and many more.
