Philanthropic Fundraising ServicesNew Jersey, United States11-50 Employees
The African Library Project operates in the philanthropic fundraising services sector with a mission to start libraries in rural Africa. It uses a grassroots model that mobilizes U.S. volunteers to organize book drives and ship books to a partner library in Africa. In the United States, volunteers collect, sort, and pack gently-used children's books, organize book drives in local schools and neighborhoods, and raise funds to cover shipping to African partners. In Africa, partner libraries are organized by recipients such as Peace Corps volunteers and school administrators, who receive the books and establish local libraries serving communities. The organization is based at 19 Mantua Road Mount Royal, New Jersey 08061 United States, employs 11-50 people, and maintains a website at africanlibraryproject.org.
