Great ,This is what is needed for rural societies globally, Its a step to
bridge the difference between literacy as a fictional theme and Lietracy as
a fucctional reality in the world......

Africa will raise in This area too......

Good morning everyone

I am a member in a Library group in India called *Lifrarians*, they have
a very large membership and are very active. Recently, they have extended
their outreach projects to setting up libraries for rural Indian schools.
please see the link below for more info about their current project.

They are using crowd funding to purchase books and equipment. They have
partnered with *Pratham Books* a non-profit publisher who has been
recognised by the Library of Congress, and Milapp for their international
donations. Milapp is a non-profit that started in India to offer
micro-financing for farming and has now started crowd funding for charity
projects. They were reported in 'Forbes India' as an innovator in
micro-finance.

They have several great projects running at once, building and
training libraries in rural schools in India.  Please go to the following
webpage to read in detail about their projects, including: full
description, accounts, photos.

This a great grass-roots work in India, led by Indian librarians, very
reliable people who I have met personally and worked with. Please donate if
you feel able and spread the word if you think it deserving  - Alan.
