Future and Ongoing Projects

These are projects that we are currently fundraising for. The distribution of book boxes to assist education is still our primary goal but we have seen so much need for things that are associated with good learning (such as nutrition, a safe and stable living environment and access to food and clean water) that we have felt the need to branch out. If you would like to support us in any of these goals or would like more information please contact us at info@africanbookbox.org or call (250) 479-8671.
If you wish to send a cheque or money order you may mail it to
