International Donations Program: For Donors
A guide to non-profit organizations worldwide that request book, journal and other educational material donations.
Last Updated: Jan 8, 2024 4:12 PM
Guidelines
Donors may choose to send their books to a program based on location, mission, or subjects requested. The geographic index will help locate the need in a particular area of the world, or scroll down to find a list of organizations indexed by subject.
Contact the institution or program in advance to make sure that materials are still being accepted and that what you have is what they need. Sending inappropriate materials is more harmful than sending none.
Plan your shipment by first sorting, weeding, and discarding inappropriate materials, including books that may be moldy or damaged. The most cost effective method of shipping overseas is to use the USPS M-bag service. Note that military APO address costs are the same as domestic U.S. mailing regardless of location.
Find Organizations By Region
Organizations listed in this section collect and distribute books to multiple countries and geographic areas, and often have a U.S. address to which books may be shipped. Choosing one of the agencies in this section is a good choice for the donor who has materials in a wide range of subjects.
- Better World BooksDonations of books from individuals, libraries, bookstores, and book drives are all welcome. The entire process is easy. NOTE: books are sold, with profits invested in literacy projects and donations.

Kijiji Kids began in 2014 with a mission to enhance education in literacy regions, with a special focus on the rural and arid areas of Kenya through the provision of reading materials and the establishment of libraries and resource centres. Currently one library centre has been established in Bureti District, Kericho County, un by volunteers and offering 150 books and few pieces of furniture. The centre boasts an average of 30 children who regularly attend the library in the evenings after school and on Saturdays.
Currently, Kijiji Kids is looking into establishing two more library centres in Lokichar, Turkana county and Ngoron in Pokot, which are some of the remotest parts of Kenya. We currently have 100 books each for the establishment of the two centres. The establishment of these two centres will help Kijiji Kids achieve its mission of enhancing literacy in low literacy regions of Kenya. We are therefore requesting for your support as we continue to establish more centres in Kenya to foster better access to educational resources in Kenya.

Our mission is to bridge the gap in education by renovating schools and distributing books to students who lack access to essential learning materials.
The Kargil region, nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas, presents unique challenges when it comes to education. Many schools in these remote areas are in dire need of renovation to create a safe and conducive learning environment for the students. Furthermore, a significant obstacle faced by these students is the lack of educational books and resources. Access to quality reading materials is vital for nurturing a love for learning and promoting academic growth. - Roupya Memorial LibraryRequesting books on the topics of hearing impairment, mental disability, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, aphasia, physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education and hearing care.

Kijiji Kids began in 2014 with a mission to enhance education in literacy regions, with a special focus on the rural and arid areas of Kenya through the provision of reading materials and the establishment of libraries and resource centres. Currently one library centre has been established in Bureti District, Kericho County, un by volunteers and offering 150 books and few pieces of furniture. The centre boasts an average of 30 children who regularly attend the library in the evenings after school and on Saturdays.
Currently, Kijiji Kids is looking into establishing two more library centres in Lokichar, Turkana county and Ngoron in Pokot, which are some of the remotest parts of Kenya. We currently have 100 books each for the establishment of the two centres. The establishment of these two centres will help Kijiji Kids achieve its mission of enhancing literacy in low literacy regions of Kenya. We are therefore requesting for your support as we continue to establish more centres in Kenya to foster better access to educational resources in Kenya.

Our mission is to bridge the gap in education by renovating schools and distributing books to students who lack access to essential learning materials.
The Kargil region, nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas, presents unique challenges when it comes to education. Many schools in these remote areas are in dire need of renovation to create a safe and conducive learning environment for the students. Furthermore, a significant obstacle faced by these students is the lack of educational books and resources.
