About the Program

Books for International Goodwill has donated over four million books since being founded in 1994. The Rotary International organization uses an all volunteer workforce to collect, sort, and package shipping containers for destinations such as Uganda, Kenya, the Czech Republic, and Native American libraries.  Also featured in this program are two reading programs: the Mpambara-Cox Foundation that organizes programs to partner U.S. schools with schools in Uganda, and the Caribbean Children's Reading Project.
