The Dadaab Book Drive
Dadaab Book Drive’ is an ongoing initiative that has delivered over 60,000 books and opened a community library in Dadaab Refugee Camp. The Book Drive’s goal is to improve education for children in Dadaab by ensuring they have text books, reading materials, and safe environments to study.
