Books For Africa

Books For Africa is incredibly proud and grateful for the support of donors like you! Over our history, we have shipped more than 66 million books to Africa. We have also achieved eighteen consecutive years of four-star rating from Charity Navigator, ranking us in the top 3% of charities nationwide, proving our commitment to managing donations transparently and efficiently. 

 Last year alone, Books For Africa shipped over 2.5 million books, valued at over $19 million, to 33 countries.  Over 325,000 digital books were also shipped on computers and e-readers. Over $2.2 million was raised to ship these books to partners across Africa. Over 10,000 volunteers joined BFA staff in helping to pack these books for shipment to Africa.

This Give to the Max Day, help Books For Africa bring the gift of reading to children and students in the Democratic Republic of the Congo! Through the Univers Merveilleux des Maths et de la Lecture (UMMALEC) project, your generosity can help expand access to books and educational resources, inspire a love of learning, and open doors to a brighter future. Give today and help put the power of books into the hands of the next generation!

Every 50 cents you donate sends 1 book to Africa, books that support projects like a new library for UMMALEC. 

Together, we can transform lives through the power of education. Please consider donating today! In everything we do, we strive to support literacy for children in Africa who need it the most. Help be part of this change and contribute this year for Give to the Max Day.
