We recently heard from two of our Container Captains about a recent visit to Rwanda and how books are helping children keep up with their learning during the current school closures.

Even amid a global crisis, Books For Africa is creating cause for celebration! With a recent shipment to Kenya, we celebrated 3.3 million books shipped in fiscal year 2020, which is a record year for BFA.

This week, BFA was recognized with a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar. The seal recognizes BFA's commitment to transparency in sharing our metrics, which reflect the reach and impact of our programs over time.

In the midst of a global coronavirus epidemic, Books For Africa is continuing to do its part to support students facing school shutdowns and medical personnel with needed medical resource books. In fact, 2020 is now a record year in BFA's 32-year history, with 3.3 million books and counting shipped to African students this fiscal year.

After leaving the U.S. last December, a shipment of nearly 27,000 books has arrived in Togo! The happy faces in the pictures we received from our partners speak for themselves.

Give to the Max Day makes good on its goal!  Thanks to the generous support of our donors on Give to the Max Day last November, a container of books recently arrived in Sembabule, central Uganda, to be distributed at a pair of schools.
