Mission Statement

VIllage Book Builders (VBB) is dedicated to eradicating the cycle of poverty through quality access to education and support. We accomplish this through a three-pillar framework: Infrastructure, Education, and Mentorship.

Description

We build and operate libraries at the request of communities in need, providing them with all the tools necessary for academic achievement. We know that there is an incredible need for quality education in developing countries due to factors such as teacher absenteeism, high teacher-to-student ratios, lack of school infrastructure and more. By helping communities foster learning cultures designed to create independent learners, we help empower the next generation. Together, with your help, we can reach more students.
