We can collect ANY books - but we focus on collecting Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level books to send to East Africa. We also collect Primary and university level textbooks for this purpose. Any books that are not suitable for East Africa we sell online to generate much needed funding to pay for sending those that are relevant. 

Medical textbooks: Working together with The LauraCase Trust and MedSin our Medical Book Drives collect medical textbooks in an effort to promote health education and autonomy. If you have medical textbooks to donate please see our Medical Book Drive page for more information.

If they are click on the button below to fill out our online form so that we can get in contact with you to arrange collection.

Schools

Our Book Projects can organise a collection from your school at a time that suits you. Each project runs a book collection week in December and in February but they may also be able to arrange a one-off collection from your school. 

To find out who they are, and to contact your closest book project click on the button below.
