Get donated books in Africa
Each Books2Africa Distribution Centre only donates books to educational institutions and projects within its country. The institutions and projects must either be registered with the local authorities or have a website or social media page where their mission can be seen and verified by the public. Finally, the institutions and projects must cover the processing and shipping fees of donated books and agree not to sell any of the books. If you meet this criteria, then proceed to request donated books as follows:
Go to the inventory page of your country office below to browse available books from our 17 categories. Each category contains pallets of books with an average of 1,000 books per pallet. Browse available pallets for each category, view the quantity and list of books inside each pallet and add it to your request if needed. Note that you must request a minimum of 1 pallet to proceed.
We require beneficiaries to raise funds and contribute £500 (equivalent in local currency) per pallet of books requested to help recover the costs we incur in importing, clearing and warehousing donated books in your country. When you have raised funds, select the pallets you need and complete your country's Book Request Form with details about your institution or project.
After your request is approved and funding is received, you can collect your pallets of donated books from your local office. After receiving your books, you will find a small quantity of books with a yellow impact sticker. You are required to donate them to your beneficiaries urgently and send us an Impact Photo of each beneficiary holding the book they received.
