We believe in the power of books to inspire the mind. Knowledge has an impact on who we are and our character, in a way few other things can. Books for Kibera collects donated books to give to children and young adults living in and around the informal settlement of Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya. Our partners do amazing work such as providing clean water and sanitation, education, and economic development to people living in extreme poverty. Our books are able to complement these services and provide a means of hope and personal growth.
Books for Kibera a partners with CARS (Charitable Adult Rides & Services) to process real estate donations to benefit Books for Kibera. Our program takes any property type (land, homes, commercial) in any location so long as there is equity. Even if you owe back taxes, have a mortgage balance, or deferred maintenance, it's no problem. We will pay off all loans, liens, commissions owed and pay all closing costs. If you have a real estate asset that is costing you money or not being utilized, donating it is a great way to give back and you may even claim a significant tax deduction!!
