Books2Africa is a UK registered charity that is improving the quality of education in Africa through the provision of books, computers and educational resources that enable individuals and communities to acquire knowledge and achieve their full potential in a globalized world. The charity collects and ships donated educational resources from individuals and organisations in the UK, reducing waste and increasing ‘readcycling’.
The books have boosted morale of staff and engagement to teaching while offering enhanced access and availability of training materials for tutors, trainers and assessors.
The books we received from Book2Africa helped many teachers and staff much more, because now they can prepare their lessons for other students
Before having these books, our teachers had to walk 10km away from the school in search of a library but at a fee. This time, no hassles. Books are readily available.
We have seen improvements in all aspect of the language, plus children have developed a tendency of reading books and this has helped them improve their creativity and vocabulary.

Le monde n’est pas sans savoir que le continent Africain souffre encore et toujours de difficultés en termes d’éducation, un facteur commun à un grand nombre de régions en début ou en pleine transition démographique, politique ou économique.
