Dulugu is a farming community in the Bolga East district, located in the Upper East region of Ghana. The community has a population of about 5000 people and is made up predominantly of farmers, alongside some working in basket weaving and a few in processing donkey skin.

The people of Dulugu are believed to have come from Burkina Faso. The community is fortunate to have abundant fertile land, ideal for agriculture. The people of Dulugu speak Gurune and are Gurusis. One of the traditions in the community is that the consumption of goat meat is forbidden, as it is believed that the goat was kind to their forefathers.

The Spot was founded with the aim of making books available to the community and to create a common space where everyone can sit and read — It is hoped that this initiative will foster a love of reading among learners and enhance their communication skills. In 2017, Akunlibe Gertrude initiated the idea for the project, and was joined by Mohammed Fuseini and Azure Philip in their shared vision for positive change in their community. The Spot now has five active volunteers. Mohammed Fuseini is currently the project lead, while other Catalysts include Abentara John, Avambila Michael, Francis Karim and Azuri Philip.

The transformation began with the renovation of an old classroom, which included painting, constructing two tables and four benches, and stocking the space with 200 storybooks. Learners were allowed to come and sit and read. The Spot was known then as Reading Spots. They were faced with various challenges in the beginning, including reluctant learners, as well as environmental constraints — Due to insufficient furniture, some learners were forced to stand, and the lack of lighting at night hindered their ability to study. Additionally, the excessive heat often made it difficult to concentrate, with learners resorting to using books as fans instead of reading them!

However, the Catalysts persevered, and in collaboration with EduSpots, the Spot now boasts over 3000 storybooks, multiple JHS and SHS textbooks, science resource materials, four ceiling fans, a laptop, and four tablets. The Spot opens Monday to Friday, from 8:00am to 2:00pm, and in the evening from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.They also run four strands of EduSpots — the EcoSTEM club led by Mohammed Fuseini meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays; the EduLit club led by Francis Karim meets on Wednesdays; the Ignite Equity club led by Avambila Michael meets on Thursdays; and finally the EduKidz club, which is led by Abentara John, meets on Fridays.

There has been plenty of tangible impacts over time, as learners have developed their interest in reading as well as confidence in speaking English, many have passed English Language in the BECE. It has also encouraged parents, some of whom used to prevent their children from coming into the community, to bring their children to school. A few of the aspirations of the Spot include recruiting more Catalysts, and subsequently opening over the weekends as well as running all five EduSpots educational clubs. Another aim is to sustainably generate revenue for the operation of the Spot, striving towards the Dream Spot Model. It is envisioned that Dulugu Spot will evolve into a digital hub where learners can study using technology, a sustainable space powered by solar energy, and a renowned model for  learning spaces.
