IRS990/Desc0Libraries: Thanks in part to grants from the Palmer Foundation and Lantern Projects, organized book drives throughout the US and shipped gently used books to create small libraries throughout sub-Saharan Africa. We work in English-speaking African countries that meet our criteria for sustainable library development and have a significant need for books and feature political stability, reliable transport of books to destinations, and a network of local organizations capable of organizing our books into real, working libraries. International container shipping costs to Africa to deliver books gathered and sorted by book drive organizers. We have started libraries in 12 of of Africas English speaking countries and have established over 2,384 libraries and shipped over 2.4 million books since our founding. We are currently active in Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi and Sierra Leone and Swaziland.
