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 64 million books to Africa. We have also achieved our thirteenth 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: establishing a new library for Somalia’s Ministry of Defence, creating a lasting resource for officers, staff, and trainees working to rebuild their country after decades of conflict. The library will provide books on leadership, peacebuilding, governance, and public service — tools that will empower those working toward stability and national unity. Container Captain Warsame Hassan, a Minnesota resident with Somali roots, is leading the drive to fundraise for this project, which will strengthen the foundation for lasting peace and a brighter future for the people of Somalia. By supporting this effort, you'll help nurture education, understanding, and hope within one of Somalia’s most critical institutions, strengthening the foundation for lasting peace and a brighter future for its people.
