Start Your PartyWhat your party does
Books For Africa turns donated volumes into learning resources that reach classrooms, libraries, and readers across the continent.
Books Delivered
They send quality, donated books in sea containers paid for by contributions from people like you.
Filling Shelves
When the books arrive, they go to once-empty library shelves and into classrooms where children can access them.
Supporting Readers
Books reach children who have never before held a book, opening opportunities to read, learn, and explore.
Nationwide Reach
Since 1988, Books For Africa has shipped books and served every country in Africa.
