Ethiopia Reads launches a Basket of Books Program
Basket of Books Program
As a grass-roots organization we have been overwhelmed with the numbers of people who have reached out to us asking “How can I help?”
The Basket of Books program is an initiative launched by Ethiopia Reads that allows those of us who aren’t able to plant an entire library or publish a book share the joy of reading and make a lasting impact.
You can touch the lives of children who rarely or never get to hold books.
What is the Basket of Books Program?
A simple two-step program! 1) You donate $200 to sponsor a Basket of Books. Each book will have a nameplate placed on the inside cover recognizing the basket’s sponsor: your organization, family, or perhaps a reader or supporter of the world’s children that you want to honor with a gift. 2) Ethiopia Reads will place the basket with a worthy organization that serves children in Ethiopia. (If you like, we will work with you on placing a basket with an organization you might already have a relationship with.)
Each basket of books will contain an assortment of books like those shown in the pictures above – to include Early Readers, picture books, middle grade novels and local language books.
For more information regarding the Basket of Books program, please contact Catie Dupont.
