Project Kenya is raising funds to ship over 3700 books to rural Mulot, Kenya to support education for children with limited resources. Many Kenyans live in mud huts without running water or electricity, and earn on average $500 per year farming and selling crops. While school is free through 8th grade, some children must work rather than attend due to family expenses. The donated books will help address the lack of textbooks in schools.
