Story

A warm hello to you!

Nansanger school is by Lake Malawi & has over 700 eager pupils. The Book Bus brought books to the school in 2015 & now children are reading under trees, by the road & in the village. Now is the time to build a home for the books as the school want to encourage more children & adults to read in a safe and secure place. The nearest library is 50kms away. 

The community have already hand-made 20,000 bricks but need help to buy timbers & iron sheeting for the roof, security grills and shelving for the library.

When finished it will be a place of excitement, learning and discover for over 10,000 children. 

Please give up your coffee for one day and donate a few £'s!

It’s a well-known fact that poverty stems from lack of education. Literacy rates in sub-Saharan Africa are as low as 15% which means that education for many children is just not happening. The Book Bus gets children reading so they can climb onto the learning ladder and improve their chances in life
