#BookDriveNigeria2017 – Knowledge is a Powerful Development Tool for Children
Our priority is:
To bring back the culture of reading and help equip and/or transform school libraries or reading spaces for ease of use in affected and underserved communities. This is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) to “promote quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all”.
Together we can all make this happen. Thanks to our strategic partner in the United Kingdom – NSF(UK) and all our donors.
With much hope,
The ChiYoWo Family

Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,
Great News!
We have received a total of 1,191 books in the United Kingdom (UK) and more are pouring :). The books are now Nigeria bound. Thank you so much to our anonymous shipper who shipped this first batch for FREE!!!
We have also received numerous pledges from more book donors in Nigeria. Watch this space…
Just to let you know, we have stamped all the books “Book Drive Nigeria 2017. NOT FOR SALE. Donated by CHIYOWO & NSF (UK). See some sample stamped pages attached.
This is one of the measures put in place to ensure donated books are not sold to third parties. There are other monitoring measures we will put in place, to make sure our beneficiaries (children aged 4-14 years) enjoy the maximum benefit of the Book Drive Nigeria 2017.
Once again thank you to all our donors (Financial and Book) and our supporters who are tirelessly spreading the word. Please keep your donations coming in.
Nothing is too small.
We love you for donating x.
