On SATURDAY, 28th OCTOBER 2017, BAFA is commemorating its 10 year anniversary, and the launch of its KNOW AFRICA – LOVE AFRICA (KALA) SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES SHARED VALUE INITIATIVE. The Event is taking place at City Space, University of Sunderland, Chester Road, Sunderland SR1 3SD.
Come and find out more about how BAFA has been making a difference, and how you can help us to continue to make a difference in the educational landscape in Africa. You’ll also find out more about how BAFA intends to give something back to schools and communities, through its KALA Shared Value Initiative.
There will be presentations, refreshments, entertainment, prize draw and much more.
We hope to see you there. Bookings for places will be made available soon.

Nigeria: Books sent to Edo State
In February 2011, BAFA shipped a container load of books and other educational resources to Edo State. The school until then had no library. The school authorities were so pleased with the volume of books received from BAFA that they decided to expand the size of their new library building so that other schools in the community could use it.
