The written word is a form of expression that is becoming indispensable in today’s world of business, art and education. As the internet continues to be riddled with a near-unlimited amount of information, the chances of sourcing quality content online remains a challenge. Access to literary content for educational, recreational and research purposes is limited, not just in Africa, but in several places across the world.

radaaEvidently, in order to give quality written words a more visible presence online, there is a need for a robust platform that will allow creatives to showcase their thoughts and ideas, reach their targeted audiences, and get objective critiques of their work in their bid to gain recognition and acknowledgement.

This is why the Raadaa project is attempting to bridge this gap by providing a platform upon which research can be preserved, accessed and critiqued by anyone from anywhere. “We sought a solution to this disconnect and decided to leverage the internet and its wide/far-reaching availability”, said Ezugwu Chigozie, the startup Founder and CEO.

Raadaa is built for researchers, academics, authors, organisations and readers who just need a source and a repository of quality literature and research materials. Individual writers can upload their work and grow their audience on the Raadaa platform. Publishing houses and organisations aren’t left out. They can also upload any material they have copyright license for -- say, research papers and academic material -- on the Raadaa platform.
