South Africa, Republic

Biblionef puts new children`s books at the disposal of children from 3 to 18 years in disadvantaged areas of developing countries. It has subsequently developed into a network of international aid organisations with the same aim: To provide deprived children and adolescents with new children’s books, thus stimulating their curiosity and desire to learn and laying a solid foundation of knowledge for their future. The success of Biblionef depends completely on gifts, donations and sponsoring of businesses, schools, funds and private individuals. The enthusiastic commitment of many volunteers makes it possible for the work to be done at low costs. Biblionef South Africa is a dynamic organisation which provides new books to needy children`s schools and libraries throughout South Africa with emphasis on organisations in townships, informal settlements and in remote rural areas. It is unique in two ways - firstly, Biblionef is one of only a few book-donating organisations which supplies children with books in any of South Africa’s 11 official languages. Secondly, Biblionef recognizes that there are not enough mother-tongue publications, so it works actively with local publishers and writers to commission the printing of new children`s books in the African languages.
