Bookfriends International was founded on the belief that every child deserves a chance to learn and to develop his or her individual abilities. We envisioned that the surplus and used books of America could be put to efficient use to bolster educational
opportunities in Africa.
Now, after more than four years of working with many school teachers and administrators in East Africa, we know even more fully that good books properly placed create individual growth and bring personal victories of dynamic proportions.
Further, when hearts and minds become hopeful, helpful, and forward-looking, communities and whole societies benefit. A stronger, more effective education system creates a foundation for positive cultural growth. |

Important to Note
An important element of our philosophy is to provide the right books to a school at the right time. This is best accomplished by entering into a planning period with those schools which have indicated a need.
