Restore Leadership Primary School Library, Uganda
The books helped fill our new library. We had an almost empty library that children were eager to read in. The books helped fill the shelves and now children are enjoying them on a daily basis. This project is helping increase our reading levels.
Africa Dream Skill Institute, Cameroon
With the availability of these books, the institution now has an added advantage in the community as it’s impact is better felt. Community members who have wished to be part of this institution but for fear of their inability to meet the needs of required books to enable them succeed, can now register themselves knowing that the institution’s library is at their disposal.
African Methodist Episcopal University Library, Liberia
The books are useful for teaching, learning and research which are the core functions of the university. The books have increase our library usage over the past few months as more students find the books useful for the learning and research needs. The objective of the University library is to provide learning resources that support teaching learning and research. Books2Africa’s Support to AMEU Library has enabled the library to meet a mission. We are better placed to meet the information needs of our users.
Rehoboth Stars Nursery and Primary School, Nigeria
I must confess that the school library has changed positively and our pupils look forward to spending more time there. The teachers also have access to books they find very useful in the classroom.
Sadza Secondary School Reading Project, Zimbabwe
The classroom environment which used to have pockets of noise-makers is now quiet. The learners are always quiet reading books for knowledge and pleasure. Unnecessary movement in the classroom is now a thing of the past and we no longer have bullies. The availability of the books has changed the classroom environment for the better hence beating the adage: “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”

Tukongote Community Library, Zambia
Because of the rural location of our school and community and the fact that we currently have no mains power, our teachers had nowhere to source ideas or knowledge from before the library was opened. Having the access to the books has made them become much keener in planning their lessons. They are discovering new and exciting ways to teach and impart knowledge. And they themselves are learning in the process of teaching.
Solasta Foundation International, Ghana
This project would not have been a success if not for books donated by Book2Africa. Results are unbelievable. And not only that, the whole school from Kindergarten to JSS 3 are reading during this period allocated. We greatly appreciate the books made available to us by Books2Africa. It is our hope to take this project in many rural schools in Ghana with support.
