Give Books to Children in the Philippines

Organization information

The Center for Art, New Ventures & Sustainable Development (CANVAS)

Location: Quezon City, Philippines

Summary

CANVAS works with local artists and writers to publish original picture books that are then donated directly to children in public schools and poor communities throughout the Philippines. For many of the kids, ours is the very first book they get to call their own, and the effect can be profound and even life changing. We hope to give away one million books to one million children in the next 5-10 years.
