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 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 a diverse selection of 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 44,000 books and shared them with students, schools, libraries and reading hubs. Check out our interviews with TRACE TV and Arise TV.
Summer 2022, we completed a successful book drive to Ghana. We shipped 20,000 books and distributed them to 4 regions within the country.
Summer 2023, we will return to Ghana and also go to Togo, a French speaking country.
Thanks to all our donors for your support and making our dreams come true!
