Talk:Books for Africa

Untitled

Books for Africa is a highly notable non-profit organization - it is small, but it has made a huge impact by locally collecting books & partnering with a number of NGO's to distribute books to communities. It has been reviewed by the Minnesota Charities Review Board, CharityNavigator.org & the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Information Programs; all links have been included as sources.

Hi - I'm pretty new, so thanks for the input. I put the report from the Washington File (as well as the direct pages for Charity Navigator, etc) as an external link at the bottom; don't those qualify as 'verifiable' sources? I read the verifiable link that you included above and it seems to me that they do; if not, please explain. thanks very much Literacy123 20:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[1] is the Washington File link; http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/search.summary/orgid/3373.htm is the Charity Navigator link for verificationLiteracy123 20:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

The Washington File piece is perfect. I'm removing the speedy request. Thanks! --Iknowyourider (t c) 20:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Language

I suppose that most of the books are in English, but a cursory look at their site tells me they also print Somali books and deliver French-language books. Could we have a rough statistic of the language of the books they deliver? --Error (talk) 21:47, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
