REuse

ABCA is a non-profit organisation supplying educational material to impoverished schools of Africa. Education is a key part of a child’s development. The majority of children in rural Africa are impoverished and deprived of adequate educational resources. It is our belief that it is mainly through education that these children will be equipped to rise above the impoverished conditions into which they were born. in Australia. we accept donations of books and other educational materials from schools, libraries, publishers and households. In Africa, we work with our African representatives to determine who should receive ABCA donations. In particular we seek out African schools and organisations where educators are driven to provide the best possible education despite the lack of adequate resources available to them.

Accepted items

We welcome new and pre-loved fiction books, including story and picture books, as well as general reference books such as dictionaries and atlases. Our book recipients range from babies to students in secondary school (15 years old). Books must be in English. We gladly accept books from schools, libraries, publishers and family households.

Helpful tips

We are selective of the books we accept based on the requirements of our African students and the cost of shipping books to Africa.
