At the Maryam Library Foundation, we believe that education is the key to unlocking the potential of underserved communities around the world. That's why we work tirelessly to provide access to books, the building blocks of knowledge and imagination. Today, we celebrate an incredible milestone that brings us closer to making a lasting impact on the lives of thousands of children in Kenya.

The Marathon to Literacy

With the support of our dedicated team of volunteers, we have reached our ambitious goal of collecting 40,000 books across an incredible range of subjects! From Math and Science to captivating children's books, these boxes of knowledge will soon be a vibrant reality in 40 libraries throughout underserved communities in Kenya.

The Power of Volunteers

This achievement wouldn't have been possible without our amazing volunteers who have donated thousands of hours to making this project a reality. From sourcing and sorting books to carefully packing them for their long journey, their passion and dedication are the heart of the Maryam Library Foundation.

The Next Chapter

We've reached the critical, last stretch of our 100-mile marathon! Soon, our precious cargo will embark on its sea voyage to Kenya. There it will transform classrooms, fuel imaginations, and unlock the power of literacy for young readers eager for knowledge.
