UNICEF EDUCATION
Its only right that the first organization we donate to and spotlight in our monthly social responsibility program would be one that's super close to our business mission which is to build free libraries across Africa.
Unicef education focuses on west and central africa because millions of children in West and Central Africa are still denied an education.
According to them, the region accounts for one-third of the global total of primary school age children and one-fifth of lower secondary age children who are out of school.

JANUARY 2021
With our monthly social responsibility program, we aim to spotlight charity organizations that are close to our business mission which is to build free libraries across africa. And, what is a library without books? Books for Africa fulfills that.
A simple name for an organization with a simple mission: To end the book famine in Africa. They collect, sort, ship, and distribute books to African students of all ages. With our help, they will be able to create a culture of literacy and provide the tools of empowerment to the next generation of parents, teachers, and leaders in Africa.
Books For Africa remains the largest shipper of donated text and library books to the African continent, shipping over 48 million books to all 55 countries on the African continent since 1988. Last year alone, Books For Africa shipped 3.3 million books, and 155 computers and e-readers containing over 400,000 digital books, to 29 African countries.
More than $2.7 million was raised last year to ship these books to the students of Africa.
The need for high quality books in African libraries and classrooms is more pressing than ever, and your gift allows us to continue working towards ending the book famine in Africa. Thank you again for your support!
