Girl-centered books to 60 village libraries

Girl-centered books to 60 village libraries

Organization information

Friends of African Village Libraries (FAVL)

Location: San Jose, United States of America

Summary

This project will expand on the earlier project that provided 15 picture books written by popular Ivorian author Fatou Keita. Kids in Burkina love these books and often come to village libraries just for them. They portray situations that occur in their neighborhoods, are written in simple French, and include beautiful illustrations on each page. In 2020, FAVL hopes to provide 50 appropriate girl-centered and young adult books for young women to 60 community and public libraries.
