Libraries

Since 2009 we have established libraries to bring reading material closer to people particularly to indigent communities. We have set up 1 public library, 1 community library, 4 school libraries and 13 ‘seed’ libraries.

Seed libraries consist of branded book shelves containing about 500 books which we donate to communities which have neither the facility nor the resource for a full-fledged library. It is hoped that this seed planted would encourage the recipient and other donors to eventually develop a proper library.
