Books For Africa

A simple name for an organization with a simple mission. We collect, sort, ship, and distribute books to students of all ages in Africa. Our goal: to end the book famine in Africa.

Books For Africa stands with our global community raising their voices in peaceful protest by the millions, taking to the streets in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota and the ongoing problem of unequal justice.  The persistent racial inequalities in our society and the social disruption over the past several days is of concern to all of us.  We implore local, state, and national governments to do everything they can to address the persistent racial injustices that have led to the great anger and frustration of so many people. 

Books For Africa is an organization guided by community need and contribution.  We share in the global grief and pledge to continue to do our part by helping to educate the future African leaders who will help bring justice and equality in a communal way forward as we seek to address global disparities. ​

In the Covid-19 pandemic, we remain more committed than ever to ensuring that African professionals and learners have the books they need to continue reading and learning. Our warehouse remains open and is still taking book donations, and our administrative staff continues to work remotely. With protective equipment and social distancing measures, we continue to work with volunteers and partners towards our mission of ending the book famine in Africa.
