Imagine being a child who loves stories…

…but there are very few books in your school.

Imagine wanting to read about different countries, discover new ideas, learn new words, or simply get lost in a story — but having limited access to books.

For many children, access to books is not equal access to opportunity.

That is why the work of the African Library Project matters.

By helping establish libraries and get books into schools across Africa, ALP helps place the right resources into the hands of children who can use them to learn, imagine, and grow.

This October, we're helping make that possible again.

🎯 Goal: $20,000 by October 31

Every dollar raised will go directly toward shipping books to children in Uganda, Lesotho, and beyond before the end of the year.

You don't have to make a huge donation to make a difference.

You can also make a difference by sharing this campaign with someone who loves books, believes in education, or wants to help a child discover the joy of reading.

One share could reach the person who makes the donation that helps put books in a child's hands.

Listen to the inspiring story of Deborah Ahenkorah as she retells how the African Library Project (ALP) gave her a world of books—and opened doors to possibilities she may never have imagined.

Deborah is one of many young people whose lives have been transformed through the work of ALP. Her story is a powerful reminder that access to books can spark curiosity and nurture dreams.

But the story doesn’t end with Deborah.

There are countless more children waiting for that same opportunity.

October is a month worth celebrating.

In the United States, it’s National Book Month. Around the world, October is also celebrated as International School Library Month — a time to recognize the power of books, libraries, and access to knowledge.

But for many children in Africa, a school library filled with books is not something they can take for granted.

A book can be a child's first window into a world beyond their classroom. It can spark curiosity, strengthen reading skills, inspire a dream, or simply help a child discover the joy of reading.

This October, the African Library Project (ALP) is raising $20,000 by October 31 to help ship books to children in Uganda, Lesotho, and beyond before the end of the year.

📖 You can be part of the story.

Donate if you can. Share if you can't. Either way, your participation matters.

Let’s make October a month where more children get to open a book — and discover what might be possible.
