Sustain ALP’s Impact —
Your Gift Supports Our Greatest Needs
Your support makes it possible for the people, systems, and tools behind ALP to transform donated books into lasting libraries. It keeps ALP connected and responsive, year after year. That’s why unrestricted gifts make all the difference — they allow us to work alongside our partners across Africa, respond to challenges, strengthen sustainability, and direct resources where they’re needed most.
GLORIA MATEKENYA, A MALAWIAN LIBRARIAN
“I was so happy to see the truck carrying our books. Words could not express how excited I was. As a librarian, it has always been my wish that rural primary schools have access to reading materials.”
