Capture 5


After nearly a year long journey, we are happy to share that the books arrived at Rangwe primary school. The kids were very excited and showed their brightest smiles while checking the boxes. The teacher-librarian Jacktone Ouko provided feedback that the books are so good, and the children love them so much. Thank you for all your support!

    social responsibility

    We believe that social responsibility is an ethical framework in which corporations are accountable for fulfilling their civic duty and taking actions that will benefit society as a whole. We believe that companies are not only responsible for making profits but also to protect the interests of the community and society as a whole. We believe that global literacy helps strengthen a global economy.

    COLLECTED: 2700
    Goal: 3000

    join us to Help African Children learn to read

    African literacy as a continent is only 66.8%, and we know that the road to literacy starts with elementary school.


    Help us by donating SOFT cover gently used books between the Kindergarten and 8th Grade Reading levels.  


    NO books about politics, religion, holidays or country specific history.  A biography about "Barack Obama" or "George Bush" is maybe ok, but not a book about "U.S. Presidents."
