My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

To mark our wedding, we are keen to support a development project.

We both love reading and have learnt a huge amount from books. Book Aid International promotes educational development in a practical way by providing much-needed books in some of the poorest regions of the world. Literacy and education help people take control of their lives. This quote caught our imagination:

'I read a book which changed my life. It taught me not to fear someone. I want to thank the author who wrote the book. But I could not afford to read it without the library.' Patience Harpuri, pupil at Mount Melleray

There are other inspiring examples at www.bookaid.org (see ‘what we do’). You can read about the camel mobile library services in North-east Kenya, rebuilding of community libraries in Sri Lanka following the 2004 tsunami, women’s reading clubs in Malawi and support to children's libraries in the West Bank and Gaza. Do have a look.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to make a donation: Book Aid International gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

We’d be delighted if you’d join us in supporting Book Aid International.
