Books For Africa

Books For Africa is incredibly proud and grateful for the support of donors like you! Over our history, we have shipped more than 60 million books to Africa. We have also achieved our twelfth consecutive four-star rating from Charity Navigator, ranking us in the top 3% of charities nationwide, proving our commitment to managing donations transparently and efficiently.

This Give to the Max Day, we invite you to join us in a vital mission: bringing books to schools across The Gambia. The "Million Books for The Gambia" project began in 2008, when A Hand in Health (AHIH) partnered with local leaders to address the lack of educational resources. The project’s first milestone was the creation of the Sulayman Junkung Medical Library, which opened in 2010 with 7,500 books secured through collaboration with Books For Africa.

To date this project has delivered an amazing 1,251,189 books to classrooms and libraries in The Gambia since 2008!  These books have impacted the lives of so many, but there is still much to do before we reach our ultimate goal of one million books to The Gambia - Be a part of the change! Donate today!

Together, we can transform lives through the power of education. Please consider donating today! In everything we do, we strive to support literacy for children in Africa who need it the most. Help be part of this change and contribute this year for Give to the Max Day.
