Botswana Book Project operates solely via volunteers and donations and has had the privilege to work with the Government of Botswana and NGOs in donating to pre-primary, primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary schools; clinics, and other education and youth-based institutions throughout the whole of Botswana.
