Started with the Dream of Connecting African Readers to the World!


BooKonnect is a book donation platform that allows book donors to choose which books to donate to Children Readers of Africa. Through "swiping right" and "swiping left", a donor get to choose which books he wants to give, and through that, he gets to mold the outlook of an African child that will possibly affect his future! In partnership with non-profit organizations, these books will be sent to a child on the Sub-Saharan Africa while containing contact details and a personal message from the donor. We aim to establish a connection between the donor and the receiver - hence, the name BooKonnect!
