The Board of Trustees and the Management Team of BAFA are delighted to know that our shipment of books has made a big difference to the library provision at Mountain Top University, Ibafo, Ogun State, Nigeria. Our shipment of a 20-foot container load of books was delivered to the University Library on March 2nd, 2017.
According to the Librarian, Dr. Helen Akinade, the books were “well received by the Principal officers of the University and the entire Library staff”. She confirmed that “in total Two Hundred and Ninety-two
cartons of books (and other educational accessories) were received… members of staff and students from the … College of Humanities, Social, and Management Sciences (CHMS) and College of Basic and Applied Sciences (CBAS) found them relevant to their various courses”.

Book Aid for Africa has been making a difference in the educational landscape in Africa. During this period, we have shipped over 200,000 books to different countries in Africa, including Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, amongst others. We have received requests for books from many other countries, but need funds to process the shipments. You can help us to continue to make a difference by donating generously to our cause.

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.
Covenant University, the leading faith-based Private University in Nigeria, has made a generous donation to BAFA, to enable the Charity to continue to make a difference in the educational landscape in Africa. The generous donation further affirms the University’s mission (http://covenantuniversity.
