More information
We are one of the world's foremost library development charities and provide around half a million books to libraries sub-Saharan Africa and the Occupied Palestinian Territories every year. We support libraries in schools, refugee camps, prisons, universities, communities and more. As well as donating books, we also support libraries by providing grants for purchasing books locally, maintaining library buildings or training for library staff. We work with a wide range of partners in 12 countries in sub-Saharan Africa who help us to ensure that the books we send match the local need and that they are distributed to the libraries and communities that need them the most. Books and libraries are a crucial resource in sub-Saharan Africa. They are vital for quality education; they raise literacy levels, provide information and underpin development.
