Just be a Child

About Just be a Child

We believe that books shouldn't end up in a landfill. We believe that they belong into the hands of children and people who may have never seen one. So we build libraries from shipping containers using books you no longer need. We have started in Kenya, but hoped to build libraries wherever they are needed.
