At the Maryam Library Foundation, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible act of generosity from Almaden County Day School. Their recent donation of an abundance of books has brought us one step closer to our goal of establishing 40 libraries in underserved communities across Kenya.

Our volunteers have reached out and received countless book donations from schools in Campbell Union High School District, San Jose Unified School District, Fremont Unified School District, Dublin Unified School District, Pleasanton Unified School District, San Ramon Valley Unified School District and many private schools and libraries. Thanks !

We recently reached out to Almaden County Day School and they were very enthusiastic about their project and went out of their way to help with book donations. To the students, faculty, and families of Almaden County Day School, thank you! Your kindness and thoughtfulness will undoubtedly make a world of difference to countless children in Kenya. Access to books and educational materials can unlock doors of opportunity and empower young minds to reach their full potential.

The Power of Books

Libraries serve as vital community hubs, fostering literacy, learning, and connection. By donating books, Almaden County Day School has not only provided a valuable resource, but they have also ignited a spark of hope for the children in Kenya. These libraries will become centers of knowledge, where young learners can explore new worlds, develop their reading skills, and discover a lifelong love for books.

A Call for Community Support

We believe that together, we can create a brighter future for children in underserved communities. We invite other schools, organizations, and individuals in our community to follow the inspiring example set by Almaden Country Day School.

Your book donations, big or small, can transform lives. With your support, we can continue to build libraries, fill them with engaging books, and empower children in Kenya through the gift of education.
