Biblionef is a book donation agency specialising in providing new or unused books to children and adolescents where they have no access to a library or relevant reading material. Biblionef SA is unique in that it donates books in all eleven of South Africa's languages.
The triggering factor behind Biblionef's creation was the realisation that without books, the doors to knowledge, progress and freedom remain shut. Biblionef has therefore set itself the goal of providing deprived children with new story books from childhood through to adolescence, creating a lane of reading, thus stimulating their curiosity and desire to learn. Books convey ideas, in return fostering hope.
Biblionef is a not-for-profit organisation, with a very small and dedicated staff. It raises funding from the Corporate as well as the Private sector, from Government and Individuals both in South Africa and Abroad. The money is used to buy books and pay costs for shipping, warehousing and administration.
