The goal of Operation Gusii Books 2 was simple: bring more books to Gusii community and Kisii County in Kenya. Thanks to a partnership between Minnesota Kenya International Development Association (MKIDA) and BFA, that goal was accomplished. In July, Kisii University College received 500 legal text books from BFA, through MKIDA and the University of Minnesota, along with enough books to fill the libraries of 57 primary schools in surrounding Kisii County.
