Each year, we send 500,000 books to sub-Saharan Africa and beyond and support projects in primary schools and community libraries where books really can change lives.
The support of schools and colleges around the UK plays a huge part in making this work possible. Your fundraising efforts in 2010 jave so far raised over £45,000 which will help us to send more than 22,000 books to sub-Saharan Africa.
It would be fantastic if in 2011 this could be even higher!
