WELCOME!
Thank you for visiting our page!
The main aim of 'The Zimbabwe Book Project" is to provide sustainable economic independence to families in Zimbabwe by collecting books/computers/notebooks/cellphones and other school equipment/supplies from different parts of the world and redistributing them to needy and deserving under-served students in Zimbabwean urban and rural schools. If you have books you would like to donate and do not know how to get started, please email Tait Chirenje here. You can also reach him at his phone number here.
None of the volunteers for this project get compensation for it - they donate all their time and money used for gas and tolls. All money collected through our GoFundMe site goes towards storage and transportation costs to get books from NJ to Zimbabwe. Updates on the many shipments we have sent to Zimbabwe can be found here and here, along with our other projects in Zimbabwe. .

OUR OBJECTIVES AND GOALS
The overall objective and goal of this project is to provide books and other educational materials (pencils, pens, calculators, tablets etc) to deserving and under-served kids in Zimbabwean rural areas. We are currently focusing on two areas, Mashonaland Central (Guruve and Chiweshe) and Gutu (North and South). More areas will be added as the project gets bigger.
WHY NOW?
More than ever, schools in Zimbabwe need all the support we can give them. The country is going through a very tough economic period. The rural areas in Zimbabwe have little to no access to basic educational materials. As a result of this, opportunities for these children are limited.
THE BOOKS
We are seeking books ranging in levels from early childhood development to secondary school (high school). We are accepting college level books as well. College level books go to Bindura University and the University of Zimbabwe. The subject materials we are looking for (for primary and secondary schools) are:
College books in any discipline are accepted. Novels are also accepted because the schools we deal with could use any books they can for their libraries.
- Math
- English
- Science
- Social Studies
- Geography
- Writing
- Business
- Agriculture
