Help send 25,000 books to Tanzania
It’s hard to imagine…One government public school classroom with 70 students and only one textbook to share…. A newly constructed library in the village of Magadini in Tanzania, preparing to open, shelves built and ready, teachers, children, and families eagerly awaiting the arrival of books from America…School supplies in such short supply that children only have pencil nubs to write with.
YOU can help change all of this by donating to our Books for Tanzania drive!
Education, particularly reading literacy, has always been at the heart of our ministry. The children at Siha Leadership Pre and Primary School continue to excel. The Karansi Library, which opened in 2018 was the first village library to open in the area, providing a valuable space for reading, studying and transformation.
Our first campaign to send books to Tanzania was a huge success in 2018! The first village library in Tanzania opened in November of that year--a collaborative effort involving SHEFO, our partner in Tanzania, local government, and the nonprofit Books for Africa. The Ubora family then rallied around that campaign to send one container filled with 25,000 books. The results have been outstanding as the culture thrives and a love of reading increases for villagers, both young and old.
Won’t you join us to send a second container of 25,000 books to Tanzania?
To ship a 40 foot container of 25,000 books and school supplies to Tanzania costs $40,000. But, sharing your financial resources is not the only way you can help! We need volunteers to help collect and sort donated books. We need neighborhoods and schools to conduct book drives. Together we can help Magadini learn to love reading!
Please donate today to the Ubora Book Fund! Your donation of $25, $50, $100 or more will help send 25,000 books to Tanzania.
Your donations will cover:
Cost of books for the new library
Purchase of upper level textbooks for secondary students at government public schools in the Siha District
School supplies and manipulatives for early learners
All costs associated with international shipping, container, transport and other fees
Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry. We know that God is ultimately the One who builds and sustains our programs, but we also know that He uses YOU in that process.
Imagine the five-year impact of your donation:
$25 buys 25 children's books that nourish minds
$50 buys 20 textbooks that dramatically increase school capability
$500 supplies resources for 15 primary school reading programs
$1,000 supplies textbooks for ten entire classes
All donations will go into Ubora’s general fund and then directly to the Community Impact Program for the library. Once the library is fully funded, any remaining monies will be used in the area of greatest need.
Yes, I’d like to help send 25,000 books to Tanzania!
