How Your Money Is Spent

books_warehouse (1)

Every penny we receive is spent on making a difference to the lives of Africa’s children and students

All of our UK team are volunteers. BAFA has no paid staff, nor do we pay fundraisers to act for us.

We do hire vans which are used to collect books from various locations across the country and to transport them to our warehouse in Sunderland. Where possible we try to work with businesses to provide these services for free. If you are interested in sponsoring the cost of these services please visit our donate page

Acknowledgement of Donors

The books, computers and other educational resources collected by BAFA are sea-freighted to destinations across Africa in shipping containers. Each container holds approximately 20,000 to 25,000 books and costs between £2,500 and £4,500 to send from the UK. We are always keen to talk to businesses that may be able to financially support the shipping of the books or who may be able to transport the books on our behalf.

There are three levels of Shipment sponsorship – you can sponsor each of these with a financial contribution (ranging from £500 to £4,500) or by providing the service.

We hire a van to distribute books to local communities as and when they need them.
