In a country where many families cant afford books, one woman is getting them to kids in an unconventional way: motorcycles.

Rosey Sembataya, an English teacher and publisher in Uganda, started the Malaika Mobile Library in 2014, according to Christian Science Monitor . The library delivers books to kids in and around the capital city of Kampala via motorcycle.

"My sister has four children and I've been finding it very difficult to buy them books because they're quite expensive," Sembataya told the BBC . "So I thought there is a need to create something that can make story books accessible, and available at a quite cheap price."
