Make a positive change and support global literacy today!
Donate Today!
Around communities in Africa, many children attend schools and live in communities where books are scarce. The African Library Project brings people together to change that.
Through a community-powered approach, volunteers, donors, and partners work side by side to place gently used, quality children’s books into schools and community libraries —supporting reading, learning, and a lifelong relationship with books.
Whether you’re giving from North America, Africa, or anywhere in the world, your gift helps create libraries, strengthen partnerships, and ensure books reach children who are eager to read.
Be part of a global community that believes every child deserves access to books.
Give today.
Organize a Book Drive
Organize a book drive and make a lasting impact by giving the gift of books. Our approach matches book drives directly with the recipient to create a library, so you’ll know exactly who is benefiting from your book drives. This opportunity is available to anyone who lives in North America.
Donate Towards International Shipping
By contributing to international shipping, you play a vital role in supporting the creation of libraries across sub-Saharan Africa.
Your donation helps cover the cost of shipping books from a port in New Orleans to destinations throughout Africa. Every shipment brings thousands of books closer to the hands of students, teachers, and community members who need them most.
