Our Program Locations
At The Library Project, we are dedicated to making a lasting impact on children’s education and literacy in communities where access to books and learning resources is limited. We focus on rural elementary schools and community centers, where we provide libraries, literacy programs, and teacher training that create vibrant, resource-rich environments to inspire young readers.
Our commitment to literacy extends globally as we collaborate with local and international partners to support local initiatives that promote reading and learning. Together, we work toward a world where every child has the opportunity to access quality educational resources and discover the joy of reading.

Our Program Locations
Rural Elementary Schools
The Library Project partners with rural elementary schools to provide essential educational resources through library donations. These libraries are stocked with high-quality, age-appropriate books in the local language to improve reading proficiency. Our initiatives also include children’s literacy programs and teacher training to enhance the educational experience and ensure sustainable use of the libraries. We aim to bridge the resource gap for students in these remote areas by addressing the need for educational materials. Our efforts ensure every child has access to the tools needed for a quality education.
Rural Kindergartens
The Library Project extends its support to rural kindergartens, focusing on creating vibrant reading corners to foster early literacy. Our program ensures that young children have access to a variety of engaging, age-appropriate books in their native language. We emphasize teacher training to help educators effectively use these resources and cultivate a love of reading from an early age. By providing these foundational tools, we aim to enhance early childhood education and set the stage for lifelong learning. Our approach ensures that even the youngest learners in under-resourced areas have the opportunity to develop essential literacy skills.
The Home
Recognizing the importance of the home environment in a child’s literacy development, The Library Project offers Literacy Bags and STEAM Boxes to families. These resources encourage reading and learning at home, focusing on engaging children and their parents. We provide training for parents to effectively utilize these materials and foster a supportive reading culture at home. By empowering parents with the tools and knowledge to support their children’s education, we help create a positive and proactive learning environment. Our initiative ensures that learning continues beyond school and community settings, reinforcing the importance of literacy in everyday life.
Community Centers
Community centers in urban areas are pivotal in our mission to enhance literacy and educational opportunities. The Library Project donates libraries filled with diverse educational books to these centers, ensuring they are available to children and families. We conduct literacy programs and administrator training to maximize the impact of our donations and foster a culture of reading. These centers often serve as safe havens for children, offering a conducive environment for learning and personal growth. By integrating our resources and programs, we support community centers in becoming hubs of knowledge and inspiration.
Orphanages
Orphanages face unique challenges in providing consistent educational opportunities for children. The Library Project addresses this by donating libraries filled with high-quality books in the local language and conducting literacy programs tailored to the needs of these settings. We also provide training for administrators to ensure the sustainable use of the libraries and encourage reading among the children. Through our efforts, we strive to create a nurturing learning environment that supports children’s educational and emotional development in orphanages.
