Kukurantumi Library in Ghana
Child2Child Book Foundation commissions and donates books to a new library for the Kukurantumi Community, in Ghana, West Africa.
Child2Child Book Foundation
Child2Child Book Foundation (“C2C”) is a non-profit organization registered in the US and Nigeria, donating books to students in West Africa. We are Ghanaian and Nigerian teenage friends who grew up in Lagos, Nigeria and want to share our love of reading with other children.
Growing up, we loved to read but did not have easy access to books. C2C wants to share the gift of reading with underprivileged children, by providing access to good quality, diverse books.
Summer 2021 we completed a successful book drive in Nigeria. We shipped 30,000 books and shared them with students, schools, libraries and reading hubs. Check out our interviews with TRACE TV and Arise TV.
Summer 2022, we will ship books to Ghana, to be a part of this journey, click on the donate button below and join the movement!
