History & Development
Originally founded as Literacy Bridge in 2006, and later rebranded to Amplio Network in 2017, the organisation was established with the vision to solve global poverty by addressing illiteracy challenges in low-income communities through inclusive digital technology. "Amplio" is a Latin verb meaning "to make wider, increase, extend, amplify.” Our name speaks volumes. Amplio pioneered the development of the Amplio Talking Book, a durable, cost-effective audio device designed for people with low literacy. Initially conceived as a tool to enhance literacy skills among school children, the Talking Book found unexpected applications as a portable tool for disseminating crucial health and agricultural education in remote areas.
In 2024, after 17 years of successful operations and learning from local partners, Amplio Network took a significant step toward localizing its impact by transitioning leadership to Amplio Ghana. This strategic move recognized the expertise and capabilities of the organization's sister operation in Ghana, under the leadership of Executive Director Gumah Aloysius Tiah. Today, the Amplio Talking Book program has reached over two million people through ninety-nine projects in 15 countries. Amplio Ghana is currently developing a new mobile application to complement the Talking Book to uplift more people.Our technology is helping to improve program reach, message quality, and community engagement across many issues—leading to greater social impact.
