Bookfeeding Project

We aim at empowering people and communities through the establishment of self-sustainable libraries as educational hubs.

Our mission is to improve access to information and foster a knowledge-sharing culture for all in order improve their livelihoods. The Bookfeeding Project supports local communities in the building of safe educational spaces, and provides them with books and tools. We create libraries in cooperation with local NGO's and organizations as a part of already existing project but we also build safe edu

cational spaces as independent projects. All projects and libraries are initiated by communities themselves, by applying for a Bookfeeding centre through our website. We aim at creating self-sustainable and skills-sharing friendly centers in which you too can get involved and help. If you have any unwanted, unused or old books you can send them directly to our libraries, drop them to one of our collection points or visit any of the projects and bring them with you! You can alternatively contact us via email: [email protected]

Great news from our Koguta Library in Kenya! The team has received a 500 EUR mini-grant to help refurbish the space, add more books, and repair some of the shelves. This support couldn’t have come at a better time!
You can already see how much the children enjoy spending their days in the library—after all, who wouldn’t love flipping through pictures and reading stories while it’s raining outside?
Here’s to a brighter, cozier, and better-equipped Koguta Library!

Wonderful news from Cameroon! Our Bookfeeding community in Tombel has come together to repurpose an existing building into a vibrant new library space. Although progress was slowed by the recent elections and the tensions that followed, life is gradually returning to normal, and the library activities are picking up again.
We’re incredibly proud of the Tombel community for their resilience, teamwork, and commitment to creating a space where children can learn, read, and grow. Turning an existing building into a library is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when a community unites around education.
Here’s to brighter days ahead for Tombel—and to the power of books to open doors and strengthen communities!

Looking for some uplifting news and the joyful smiles of children receiving new books? Look no further!
We’re thrilled to see our Bookfeeding libraries continuing to push forward, growing stronger, and supporting their communities with passion and dedication. More books for Malawi—more learning, more hope, and more bright futures!

Our Uganda Kasese Bookfeeding Library 🌱📚

In the heart of Western Uganda, our Kasese library is part of a bigger vision led by the Fair Earth Foundation for Human Wellness (FEFO) — a community-based organization working since 2005 to empower children, women, and youth through education, skills training, and sustainable livelihoods.

From tailoring workshops to mushroom farming, from environmental conservation to human rights awareness, FEFO is transforming lives. In 2020, our library joined their efforts, giving disadvantaged children and the wider community access to books, learning, and new opportunities.

Here, the library is more than a place to read — it’s part of a movement for hope, skills, and change.
