READ International addresses the lack of educational resources in schools in Tanzania, creating libraries and supporting young people in skills and capacity development. To date we have sent 1.5 millions books to East Africa and created 94 secondary school libraries.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for Read International's book project at York University.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We're a student led project that collect disused textbooks which are sorted and sent to Tanzania in summer 2012. Any unsuitable books are recyled or resold via our partnership with Better World Books. It finance the cost of shipping we shall be fundraising throughout the year to meet our &pound;8000 target. It only cost 85p to ship a book from the UK to Tanzania! We would greatly appreciate donations for the incrediably worthy cause.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
