The Book Wish Foundation is excited to announce our first project, a combination of institutional and individual aid to provide reading relief to Darfur refugees and locals in Eastern Chad. Through our on-the-ground partner CORD, we will reach the Bredjing, Treguine, and Gaga refugee camps, with nearly 70,000 residents — 20,000 of them students — and 18 nearby Chadian villages, where more than 19,000 people are enrolled in primary school, pre-school, or literacy programs.

Book Wish Foundation is excited to join a partnership delivering educational aid to prepare future leaders of reconstruction efforts in Iraq. Spearheaded by the Michael Scott Mater Foundation, the project focuses on Dhi Qar University in Nasiriyah. Book Wish will provide English as a Second Language material to Dhi Qar, building on our experience in Chad and our sponsorship from leading publisher Oxford University Press. This will fill a longstanding void in English instruction at the University, and help it maximize the value of modern engineering textbooks donated by Oregon State University's School of Engineering.
