Our goal is to
enhance educational
opportunities
for Kenyan students
by developing
libraries and
creating relationships
between communities
in Kenya and
the United States.
Why
libraries?
Libraries represent
centers of independent
research. In
order to address
the pressing
needs of Kenya
and its citizens,
we believe that
every student
must become critically
minded and self-empowered,
more aware of
the human experience.
In creating libraries,
we are creating
opportunities
for students
to learn, expand,
and connect.
We believe that
education is
the root of change.
The Kenya
School Libraries
Program
(KSLP) is an
initiative created
in 2008 by Alex
Grossi, Michael
Kenyon and Hannah
Brown.
UPDATE: Walking Builds Hope Too On May 23, Brain Redmond will walk with Books For Africa founder Tom Warth to the top of Eagle Mountain as a fundraiser to send books to Kenya School Libraries.
This is a fundraising event for Books For Africa and the Kenya School Libraries Program. If you are interested in helping us develop school libraries in Kenya then please visit this site to donate:

Education is the root of change! Help the Kenya School Libraries Program create opportunities for students to learn, expand, and connect . We will use the money raised from this walk to send a 40-foot sea container with over 22,000 BFA books to Kenya.
50 cents sends an already donated book to Africa, where it could well be read by 50 children. Books For Africa has sent over 22 million books so far, but THERE ARE 400 MILLION CHILDREN IN AFRICA. So many books in America and so little time to send them!
