DALA Library is more than a room with books.
It is a safe, welcoming space where children come to read, learn, imagine, and see themselves reflected in stories from Africa and around the world.
Your support keeps the doors open — every month.
Your donation directly sustains the daily operations of DALA Library.
Monthly costs cover:
Library rental space in the village
Caretaker & librarian stipends
Utilities and basic supplies
Office stationery and learning materials
Shipping and delivery of children’s books to the village
Every contribution matters. Even $10–$25 helps us deliver a storybook to a child.
We welcome children's storybooks from all over the world.
At DALA Library, we believe all children deserve to see themselves in the books they read — while also learning about cultures beyond their own.
We especially seek books that:
Celebrate African stories and voices
Reflect global cultures and lived experiences
Encourage imagination, empathy, and curiosity
