Woman reading a book to group of refugee children

Every child deserves a book

The Books Away From Home Foundation provides books to refugee children, in their native language. Books Away From Home is a volunteer-run organization and entirely non-profit. We strive to keep our costs to a minimum, while not stinting on quality or accessibility. In order to ensure that our books remain affordable to schools and hospitals, and free to refugee families and shelters, we need your help.

With your support, we can…

  • implement our newest project, Sunbird, for refugee children from Iran and Afghanistan.

  • create essential new book projects for refugee children from Syria, Eritrea, Myanmar, Sudan and more.

  • continue to fund our current project, Books for the Youngest Ukrainian Refugees;

  • develop educational material to help refugee children and their classmates learn more about each other.

Please donate what you can. It is truly appreciated.
Thank you! ❤️
