Mission: Support children’s education in developing countries through book donations.
We ship more than 120,000 books every year to institutions such as schools and libraries in developing countries throughout the world.
The Book Project of the World Bank Family Network, located in Washington DC, is a non-profit organization founded in 1982 for the purpose of shipping donated books to developing countries. It is managed entirely by volunteers who are spouses/partners of staff members or retirees of the World Bank group and the IMF. The Book Project receives its books from schools, public libraries, universities and individual donors in DC and the neighbouring states. The Book Project also receives from time to time new books from publishers. The Book Project is principally sponsored by The World Bank Group and supported by the Civic Program of IMF.
