About
Description
African Library Project (ALP) is a brand that is dedicated to changing lives through books. Their grassroots approach mobilizes volunteers in North America to collect and donate gently used books, which are then shipped to African communities to create, improve, and sustain libraries. With a focus on English-speaking countries in sub-Saharan Africa, ALP targets areas with a significant need for books and the ability to meet their criteria for sustainable library development.
ALP takes pride in partnering with local African-based organizations that are committed to promoting literacy and library development in sub-Saharan Africa. These trusted organizations provide librarian-teacher training and engage in various activities that support library growth. Currently, the brand is partnered with 13 organizations in six African countries.
Over the years, ALP has created and improved over 3,000 small libraries across 13 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Every year, they work alongside their local partners and volunteers to establish more than 200 new small libraries. ALP's impact is felt in countries such as Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Uganda, Malawi, and Kenya.
The brand's story began in 2004 when a family from Northern California visited Lesotho, a country in southern Africa. This visit sparked their passion for creating libraries in African communities. With a dedicated team of board members, staff, and volunteers, ALP continues to make a difference by providing access to books and educational resources, ultimately changing lives one book at a time
