The goal of every Book Wish Foundation project is to provide reading relief to a group of people in crisis. To deliver the most useful relief, we try to learn the group's needs as specifically as possible. A single project can include many forms of relief.

We know there are millions of people in crisis who could benefit from reading relief, and we would like to expand our reach to help many more of them. If you have an idea for a project, please contact us.

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 more than 60,000 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 a registered nonprofit organization in the State of Virginia, USA. Foundation business documents
