To our dear friends and supporters,

We are overjoyed to announce a momentous achievement for the Maryam Library Foundation! After months of tireless effort, we have successfully collected and packaged a staggering 40,000 books across various subjects. This incredible collection is now nestled within a shipping container, eagerly awaiting its journey to Kenya. This book distribution will transform the lives of countless children in underserved communities, opening doors to knowledge and opportunity.

A Community Effort

Our deepest gratitude goes out to our extraordinary team of volunteers. Your thousands of dedicated hours made this marathon project a resounding success. From sorting and categorizing books to carefully packing those 1,000 boxes, your passion and commitment have been nothing short of inspiring.

The Power of Literacy

These 40,000 books will find new homes in 40 libraries across Kenya. Children will have the chance to explore the worlds of mathematics and science, lose themselves in the pages of classic literature, and ignite their imaginations with stories of adventure and wonder. Libraries are gateways to lifelong learning, and we are honored to play a part in fostering educational opportunities.

The Container Closing Ceremony

Today, we gathered in a special ceremony to send our precious cargo on its transformative voyage. Hands joined to slide the final boxes into the container, symbolizing a culmination of hard work and the start of a new chapter for countless Kenyan students.

The Journey Ahead

While the collecting and packaging phase is complete, our mission continues. We eagerly anticipate the arrival of the books in Kenya and their distribution to eager libraries. In the meantime, please know that your support has been invaluable.

We will be documenting the project's progress every step of the way. Stay tuned for future updates as the books make their way across continents, libraries are stocked, and young minds are nourished.

Thank you for being a part of this extraordinary journey!

Sincerely, The Maryam Library Foundation Team
