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.

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.
Life for Relief and Development, Sierra Leone
The books not only increased the educational standard in the individual schools, but on a community wide scale. These books will not only help over 35,000 students immediately but thousands more in the next few years. One university said that it will help in research and have an impact on a national scale.
A daughter-mother partnership set to change a school
Books can change a person’s life. Why aren’t more people having access to this tool that can change their lives? We need to change our culture and attitude toward books, this is just my small effort to make sure students develop a reading habit.

Through the books we received and used to stock the libraries in the schools and the community, we have increased the engagement time with the students in terms of real reading time and have seen a great improvement of about 20% in the reading skills of the students in the schools in the community.
Masicorp, South Africa
The books we received have greatly increased the number of books we’re able to lend to children at the school. The staff also have access to borrowing books to use in their classrooms.

We have a 45% of refugee students from South Sudan and Eritrea that they just find access to higher education through us. They live in the outskirts of the metropolitan area of Khartoum. The empowerment of these refugee students has a wonderful impact on the communities where they live in Khartoum in terms of job creation and in their original communities in terms of development for those who go back.

The intervention was very timely. Prior to now we had very few books. Now we have a standard resource centre. We are indeed appreciative of the kind gesture from Books to Africa.
Hooke Court, Malawi
Our charity decided to fill a container with educational resources to send to the 22 primary schools we support in Northern Malawi. These schools are poorly resourced; the children are taught in English yet some have no reading materials at all. The books will greatly enhance the teaching in these schools. The pupils are so excited to have many books with illustrations in them.
