Books for Our Children
Yaaba believes that education is the great equalizer in the
world, and books are at the foundation of a strong educational system.
Most African children who attend school have never owned a book of their
own. In many classrooms, 10-20 students share one textbook. Many of us in
the United States take these education and books for granted, but children
in Africa cherish books .. they are the gift of hope.
Yaaba strives to help create a culture of literacy and provide the tools of empowerment to the next generation of parents, teachers, and leaders in Africa.
Your DONATION will help fund a shipment of books to children
in the Eastern region of Ghana.

resources is struggling to provide shelter and financial aid and school
