Mother's Day is just around the corner on May 9th! This year, consider sponsoring a Girls' Empowerment Collection in honor of a special mother in your life, and Books For Africa will send books to empower girls and young women in Africa. We'll also send a special Mother's Day greeting to the honoree to notify her about the gift made in her name!
This Mother's Day, we are highlighting a great example of a Girls Empowerment Collection being put to good use in South Africa! You can read more about how a group of girls started a reading club and how you can support the Girls Empowerment collections here.

About Books For Africa
Books For Africa was founded upon a singular mission: to end the book famine in Africa. BFA collects, sorts, and ships books, computers, tablets, and library enhancement materials to every country in Africa. In collaboration with worldwide donors, publishers, and African partners, we provide the tools of empowerment to children and students across Africa. Our vision is an Africa rich in readers- in classrooms, during leisure time in libraries, and throughout university and prosperous careers. We supply varied, relevant books in English, French, and national languages, computers and tablets with digital content, specialty post-secondary materials, and supplies to create vibrant learning spaces.
Books For Africa remains the largest shipper of donated text and library books to the African continent, shipping over 50 million books and serving all 55 countries on the African continent since 1988. Last year alone, Books For Africa shipped 3.7 million books valued at over $38 million, and 167 computers and e-readers containing nearly 300,000 digital books, to 20 African countries. More than $3.2 million was raised last year to ship these books to the students of Africa.
