One Book Per Family

Donation protected
“To own a book is a luxury,”
                               said Kinshasa Driver Malu Malu MAYELE 

In the Democratic Republic of Congo,
the population’s buying power is very low.
They want books to read. Any books. In any language.
But they cannot afford to own one.
Public libraries are practically non-existent.
And so people read less and less.
It’s a vicious circle!

This is the situation in the capital city of Kinshasa, in all the other Congolese cities, and in the rural areas too.

I have to do something about it!

Hi, my name is Kabuika.
My goal is to bring my newly published book
                             "I Used to be Afraid of Animals" 

                                To every family in Kinshasa
                                To every family in the villages

                                 One Book per Family !

I am starting with 108 children’s books to give away.

The book is about a girl who is afraid of animals. She hides in her bed when there is a boa. There is only one animal she's not afraid of, her sister's monkey, Coco.
Can a monkey teach a girl to be fearless?

This is a true story! I grew up on the edge of the rainforest in Congo, surrounded by animals.

                                One Book per Family !

                               You can make it possible!
                                Donate $14.50 per book
                     (This includes shipping and handling all the way to the poorest neighborhoods in Kinshasa and the most remote villages in the country!)

                            And you will enrich a child’s life!

I have already made connections in Kinshasa and in the villages of Nord-Ubangi, Kasai Central and Maniema provinces.

                  The distribution begins on October 25th !

                                        Donate $14.50

                      and a family will have his own book by 
                                                Christmas
                                                Hanukkah
                                                         &
                                                  Kwanzaa

                                      One Book per Family !
                                Now they can enjoy reading!

Thank you for caring for Congo’s future!
