Charity
We collect disused books from UK schools, sort and send the most relevant and high quality books to schools in Tanzania, who have similar secondary school syllabus, taught in English. Books collected which are not appropriate are sold or recycled to generate funds. Achievements: We’ve sent 564,000 books (worth £6million) to 250,000 Tz school children, as well as tons of sports kit, science equipment, and stationery. We deliver global citizenship workshops to UK school children. We’ve saved over 500 tons of ‘waste’ from UK landfill. Partnerships: Our partnerships make our operation extremely low cost. Big Yellow give free storage across UK; British Airways give free & discounted flights; KPMG give free office in Tz; DHL give free UK transport; Staples collect stationery in all UK stores; British Library help our book sorting process. Awards: Founder was finalist in Enterprising Young Brit Award 2006, finalist in Edge Young Social Entrepreneur Award 2008. We won 'Best New Charity' in the Charity Times Award 2007. It never costs READ more than 50 pence to move one book from a UK classroom into the hands of a Tanzanian school child or teacher. We are an innovative model with income streams from book sales and student fundraising drives but we’re not quite entirely self-sufficient, so we still need your financial help.
