Child2Child Book Foundation
Child2Child Book Foundation (“C2C”) is a non-profit organization registered in the US and Nigeria, donating books to students in Africa.
We are African American teenage leaders from Ghana and Nigeria who are taking active steps to improve literacy rates by providing access to reading books and textbooks in underprivileged communities in West Africa. Our passion is driven by our own lived experience in Lagos, Nigeria, where we loved to read but had to rely on family and friends to get access to a diverse range of leisure reading books from overseas. Our relocation to the United States has given us easier access to books so we are paying it forward.
We are currently fundraising $40,000 to ship a container of 25,000 French books to Guinea- Conakry for Summer 2024. We are partnering with Ms. Folly Bah Thibault, a Lead Presenter at Al Jazeera and founder of Kesso Bah Foundation/ Elle ira à l'école in Guinea, Conakry. Ms. Thibault is also the United Nations Champion for Education Cannot Wait who has been recognized for her work in girl education.
