Empower our Cause!

We , my younger brother and I  are residents of  Saratoga, California &  have embarked on a meaningful mission to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children who don't have the same resources like we do . For this holiday, we have registered with African Library Project to help spread joy and collect books that will help create opportunities for young minds. This endeavor shall remind all of us in the power of giving and the boundless potential that lies within the pages of a book. We're excited to be part of this global  community that values the importance of education and sharing knowledge.

African Library Project (ALP), changes lives, book by book, together with partners in Africa and North American volunteers, to create, improve, and sustain libraries in African communities.  Learn about the library in Malawi , Africa  that we are planing to donate to which  approximately supports 250 young readers. 

Our goals include 

• Collect min 500 new and gently used books appropriate for age group 4 years to 12 year olds , categories include educational, stories , novels etc by 04/01/24. 
• Raise 325$*  ($175 to $200 to mail the books to ALP's warehouse in New Orleans and $125 to cover the share of shipping the container of libraries to Africa)
