Keeping our buses on the road takes a great deal of effort and, even though the Book Bus Foundation is run very frugally, we need money to keep the wheels turning.

There are many ways in which you can support the Book Bus:-

1. Financial donations help us to meet our UK overheads and in country operations. We are preparing fundraising packs for individual, school and corporate donors.

2. Joining the Book Bus as a Crew Member in Zambia or Ecuador provides direct assistance to the project and your project payment includes a financial donation to the Book Bus Foundation.

3. Volunteer staff in the UK help spread the word at various promotional events throughout the country. Please contact us for details on how you can help.

We are in constant need of book donations for our buses in Zambia and Ecuador and we are currently trying to stock a third bus.

Please donate generously and please donate soon!

Next shipment to Africa: 22nd April 2010

Please read the guidelines below before donating. We only require new books or books in very good condition.

Financial donations help us to maintain our buses in Zambia and Ecuador and to run our lean administration facility in the UK. The Book Bus Foundation is a UK Registered Charity. If you are a UK taxpayer and make your donation under the Gift Aid Scheme, we will be able to recover the tax you have paid.
