The African Library Project is an organization based in Portola Valley, CA that transforms book drives into sustainable libraries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through partnerships with local organizations, volunteers in North America organize book drives to collect gently used children's books and raise funds for shipping, which are then matched with underserved schools and communities in need of books. With a focus on improving literacy and providing resources for education, the African Library Project aims to create and sustain small libraries throughout the region. By mobilizing volunteers, providing teacher-librarian training, and promoting proper library management, the African Library Project addresses the lack of access to reading materials in many African communities. With a mission to change lives one book at a time, the organization recognizes the importance of literacy in fostering critical thinking skills and creativity. Through their efforts, they strive to support students in Anglophone countries who are tested in English for standardized exams, but lack the necessary books for their reading development.Generated from the website
