books for bundi



Some of the best ideas begin on the front porch.
When the neighbor children come over to our house to play, they want to do one thing:

Read Books.

The closest library is a rough three-hour journey over the mountains. And even then, it is one small room with a handful of books.

 We want to change that.

 


The idea is simple.

Provide a safe and quiet environment where children can interact with books.

Provide quality children’s books and volunteers who will read with and tell stories to children. 



Bundibugyo is in western Uganda. Marked by disease, high infant and child mortality rates, poverty, and war, it is an area in need of hope.

Books comfort, inspire, and open new worlds to children.

In partnership with World Harvest Mission, “Books for Bundi” seeks to create a Children’s Reading Room. But we need your help.
