Request a Digital Study Kit and only fund the shipping and clearing costs. At Books2Africa, we believe hard copy books and computers complement each other to provide a holistic learning experience. During the COVID-19 lockdown, we launched our Digital Study Kit – a box containing a refurbished laptop with preinstalled Windows 10 licence and productivity apps, a solar reading light and access to premium online learning platforms. The digital kit can be requested by individuals who are students or staff of an academic institution or registered NGO in any African country. Beneficiaries are required to raise funds for thee cost of processing, shipping, clearing, and delivering their kit.
Complete our online request form below to request and fund the shipment of a Digital Study Kit to an individual or organisation based in any African country. Select the online learning platform you prefer, suitable for primary to tertiary readers. All applicants must agree to not sell donated materials if approved.
Raise funds to cover the cost of shipping and clearing your donated materials. Your fundraising target is a total of £150 for door-to-port shipping and you are responsible for clearing charges at destination, or a total of £200 inclusive of clearing and door-to-door delivery. Digital Study Kit is dispatched after funds are received.
Your Digital Study Kit is dispatched and delivered within 3-5 days by DHL. Immediately after receiving your kit, you are required to send us Impact Photos of the beneficiaries holding or using the laptop and solar light received. After a month of use, you are also required to complete an Impact Report questionnaire online.

Although we do not always have sufficient funding to cover your shipping and clearing costs, you can try the fundraising resources below.
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.
