Join hands with Books2Africa as a monthly donor, fundraiser or corporate sponsor to raise and donate funds towards the cost of shipping 1 million books to students, teachers and communities across Africa every year!
Our team of staff and volunteers check, catalogue and sort donated books into categories.
When funding is received, we load and ship the relevant books required to be shipped by sea.
Upon arrival, the receiver (or our Distribution Centre) clears the books through customs before offloading.
The books are distributed to students, teachers and communities in need. Their impact reports are published online.
Our individual members commit to a monthly financial donation of £5 or more which funds the cost of shipping books from our Processing Centre in the UK to our Distribution Centres across Africa, where they are made available to students, teachers and communities in need.
Individual members get free monthly collections from their address, allowing them to send us donated books and educational materials on a regular basis.
Our organisational members commit to raising/donating money to fund the cost of shipping books to Africa annually. They can add us to their list of supported charities, request our Contactless Donation Device for their premises or organise an annual fundraising/book drive event, especially around World Book Day. Publishers can also commit to donate their excess stock of books to us.
Organisational members get a Club Badge they can display on their website to demonstrate their Corporate Social Responsibility and impact.
