 | Our mission: The International Book Bank increases | |
| literacy and advances education by procuring and shipping books and other educational materials to developing countries. |
| Our vision: Access to books changes lives. |
| Can a book really change a life? Listen to PRI's The | |
| World interview with William Kamkwamba in Malawi. Learn how he turned information from an IBB-donated science book into a source of electricity for his family's home! And William has now written a book about his experience, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. |
| The International Book Bank works with non-profit | |
| literacy programs in the developing world to supply them with high-quality new books and educational materials. Our books go to children, the ill, and the indigent, in places where there is no access to books. We help redistribute our great book wealth to Africa, Asia, East Europe, the Caribbean, Central and Latin America - and keep those books out of landfills. |
| Right now we're packing containers of books for | |
| Ethiopia, Ghana, Nicaragua, and Zambia. Please sign up for our quarterly e-news to learn more. |
| Check out the Verizon Velocity program - a great | |
| way to support literacy and the IBB. |
| Seen the award-winning children's book, One Hen (at | |
| right)? This English-language book is based on a true story from Ghana. We want to offer it to readers across Africa. Please purchase a copy and ship it to the International Book Bank. Click through our link below to buy One Hen, and Better World Books will donate a portion of your purchase to the IBB! |
