Donations

Put a useful book into someone else's hands.

The collection began with books shared by the Gisesa family. Support keeps those shelves current, welcoming and open to readers across rural Nyamira.

The most direct gift.

Give books

Current titles in good condition for the Kids, Junior and Adult shelves. Fiction, revision material and practical non-fiction are all useful.

Arrange this

Reading needs a place to sit.

Give furniture

Shelving, tables, chairs and reading furniture decide how long a visitor stays. The first furniture came from the library's own matriarch.

Arrange this

The unglamorous supplies.

Where your books go

Donations are sorted into the library's three reading sections — Kids, Junior and Adult — so a picture book reaches a young reader and a set text reaches the student who needs it. Titles that do not fit the shelves are passed to local schools and reading sessions instead of sitting unused.
