We can offer a free book collection and free global citizenship workshop to almost every UK secondary school.
We are a network of regional student-volunteer-led projects collecting disused books from schools across the UK. We sort them, match them to the Tanzanian/Ugandan syllabus and, if relevant, we send them to East Africa. Any book not relevant to send (we don't take religious/political books for example) is sold online to generate much needed funding. If it can't be sent or sold, we recycle it, generating more funding. It's a simple process. COLLECT, SORT, GENERATE, DISTRIBUTE, RECYCLE. But then, after we've collected the books from the UK schools we even deliver a free workshop to educate school children about global citizenship and sustainability.
Are you a school with disused books to donate?
Support us by buying a book we couldn't take!
