FAVL supports community libraries in African villages that provide books, reading materials, and educational activities for children, including summer reading camps.

Here's a document that Monique and I put together that explains the necessary elements of constructing a village library and the estimated costs that will be involved. The White Rabbit
Hanna and Kofi were too young to go on a hunt for the magical white rabbit that could grant a wish, but were allowed to go along if they watched the horses. While watching the horses, they spotted the white rabbit and worked together to trap it, forgetting about their task to watch the horses. When the hunters returned, Hanna and Kofi proudly announced they caught the rabbit, but then realized they had failed to watch the horses as asked. They wished they had never caught the rabbit.
Libraries creating reading material in bf presentation v2
The document discusses two initiatives by Friends of African Village Libraries to create locally produced reading materials for children in rural Burkina Faso. The first initiative involved creating photo books using photographs taken by volunteers in villages. Over 60 photo books on topics like local jobs, riddles, and stories were produced. The second initiative established a multimedia center in Houndé to produce pamphlet-style books written by local authors. Ten initial books were created on topics like dreams of going to school and the story of an orphan who succeeds. Both types of locally produced books have been widely read and generated interest among rural readers.
