Ghana joins South Africa as the second English-speaking country to welcome YouScribe, which already boasts a presence in 11 Francophone African nations.

Collaborating with Ghanaian publishers such as Adaex Edu, Subsaharan Publishers, and African Books Collective, YouScribe aims to enrich its catalogue with locally relevant content tailored to the Ghanaian audience. Founder and CEO Juan Pirlot de Corbion sees this initiative as a pivotal move towards bridging cultural divides through literature.

Prospective readers in Ghana can now subscribe to YouScribe’s digital library for a daily fee of GH₵ 0.75 (approximately US$0.06), unlocking a treasure trove of nearly 200,000 English-language eBooks and a plethora of other multimedia offerings.

Digital Virgo’s Africa Head of Sales highlighted YouScribe’s social impact, emphasizing the mobile operator’s commitment to providing digital content access in Africa.
