Support BooksOpen

Letter: Support the Kids in 2012

Thank you for considering to support BooksOpen. We are an official 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit corporation.  Currently, we are running the project without pay and have the assistance of friends in Tanzania to organize for the children throughout the school year.  At this stage, we can direct most of the contributions straight to the children and report back to you on their progress.

At the moment, we are focusing all of our attention on (1) raising funds to support our four existing BooksOpen Scholars through the 2012 school-year, (2) enrolling at least one more child at the beginning of the 2012 school-year, and (3) raising capital reserves.  Click here to see a breakdown of costs per student.

We will work to develop BooksOpen.Net as a multimedia hub that tells the stories of the students’ experiences and education in Africa.  Further down the line, we hope to collaborate with the host schools to send supplies and technical support vital to providing modern, quality education. And we have our sights set on building a transition pre-school and follow-up mentoring program for orphaned children in Tanzania.

We want BooksOpen to be a collaborative effort, and encourage all supporters to contribute suggestions to the Foundation.

Just click on the ‘Donate Now’ icon above or in any of the margins on the site, and you’ll be brought to our secure donation page.  If you’d like to send a check made out to BooksOpen Foundation:
