Activities & Mission
The Book Bus aims to improve child literacy rates in Africa by providing children with books and the inspiration to read them. We provide a mobile library service to remote and disadvantaged schools in Zambia and recruit staff and volunteer reading assistants who introduce children (and their parents) to the joy of reading.
