Books For Africa was recently profiled in two of Atlanta's major media outlets, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV 2 Atlanta, for its work supporting medical personnel in Africa with needed medical resource books during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as assisting students with books during school closures.

In the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, Books For Africa continues to assist medical personnel with needed medical resource books and students with instructional materials. With the help of a recently approved $150,000 grant from the Merck Foundation, BFA is providing thousands of medical resource books in print and medical e-books to doctors, nurses and medical students across the African continent.

We recently heard from two of our Container Captains about a recent visit to Rwanda and how books are helping children keep up with their learning during the current school closures.

WSB-TV 2 Atlanta recently covered Books For Africa's ongoing efforts to ship medical resources to health care workers on the African continent.

Even amid a global crisis, Books For Africa is creating cause for celebration! With a recent shipment to Kenya, we celebrated 3.3 million books shipped in fiscal year 2020, which is a record year for BFA.

This week, BFA was recognized with a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar. The seal recognizes BFA's commitment to transparency in sharing our metrics, which reflect the reach and impact of our programs over time.
