A Different Life, Ghana

We needed books to stock the empty shelves, which will give us the edge to craft programs that could spark some level of curiosity in the area of reading and learning. For example we now have the annual spelling bee project, the weekend literacy boost and many more.

Watoto Wetu, Tanzania

Watoto Wetu Tanzania are dealing with rescuing and helping children under 18 years old as well as youth under 35 years old to go away from hazards, vulnerabilities, abuse, hindrances, humiliation, marginalisation, trafficking and using drugs. The organization helps them to get formal and non-formal education right from nursery to secondary level and vocational training education as well as colleges when there is availability of funds.

St. Michael’s Primary School, Namibia

Our school is located on a farm in the middle of nowhere. There isn’t much for the children to do except play soccer or misbehave. Because the library now contains books at their reading level, the learners want to hang out in the library and read. They are no longer bored and misbehaving. The books that have been the most useful are the short children’s books. The reason for this is because all grades can use these for English proficiency. Before school got out, we had the grade 1 and 2 children reading to the older children, and we had the older children practice their inflection and creative reading skills by reading to the younger children.

Book Buddies By Ashezi, Nigeria

I am Ashezi Akwashiki, ten-years-old girl who loves reading. I had always wanted to start a book club but never had the
opportunity. However, six months ago, at the age of 9 years, my Mum agreed to help me start one and I had my first book
club meeting with my fellow book buddies at the Kuchingoro IDP camp in Abuja. This saw the birth of my NGO, Book
Buddies By Ashezi.

Her Innovation Cameroon (HIC), Cameroon

All these schools were very appreciative of these donations as they were particularly impressed that 90% of the books donate were in line with our educational curriculum in Cameroon. They all agreed to sign Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) with HIC so the can work together for future projects. In total, these books will impact 2,050+ students in Cameroon. Provisions were made and some books were sent to highly sensitive areas of the conflicts were access is difficult, that is Mamfe and Tombel.

Asempanaye M/A Basic School, Ghana

I noticed that computer literacy was being taught only using a black board, with no text books or computers. Now the school have computers to use within the library they will have first hand experience of what they are learning in the class room. The deputy head teacher from another nearby school also asked if he could use the computer for help with his school records so the whole community can now benefit as well as the school.

Tokomeza Zero Project, Tanzania

“It was my pleasure working with Books2Africa Tanzania which gave us about 5000 books, African Aid Foundation, and Smart Generation who played a significant role in delivering books to my district. We as a Government commend the positive contribution by Books2Africa and other partners.”

Step Up Ark, Namibia

We believe that reading books will assist our children to achieve better results in English and other
academic subjects. Subsequently, we expanded our education focus to establish reading programs and
hubs in several rural areas, where books and libraries are not fully operational yet.

Comboni College of Science and Technology, Sudan, June 2022

Computer Science and Information Technology are rapid changing academic fields which demand constant update. These books are fundamental for our students and lecturers to have access to the last information on these fields. As for Nursing, the books sent by Books2Africa are the beginning of the new section of the library that will help to train nurses for a country extremely in need.

Charity Shop FAQs

We try our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. After dispatch, our standard delivery (Royal Mail First Class) typically arrives the next day in the UK (but can take up to 7 days), in 6 days to the EU and 10 days worldwide. It is important to note that delivery times are out of our control, as we do not deliver the goods ourselves.

If the error is ours, we will reprint free of charge. If the error is yours, we will reprint for 25% of the original amount. If we have sent you the wrong size garment, we will absolutely remake it for you in the right size when you return it. 

The guidance measurements given next to the shirts are supposed to represent what size person they fit. They are not the actual measurements of the garment itself, which naturally need to be larger than the person they are designed to fit.

Firstly, please ignore the washing instructions in the garment itself. These are for blank garments and not printed ones.

Wash your shirts at 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble dry.

Whilst Royal Mail normally deliver all first class post within 1-2 working days, they can on occasion take longer. In the unlikely event that your goods do not arrive, allow 7 days before calling us. We cannot authorise any remakes before this time has passed as Royal Mail have been known to deliver within this time.

However, if you paid to have Express delivery, contact us immediately as we can provide you with the tracking reference to chase it with the carrier.
