Why Book Education for students in Europe?
Student precarity forces thousands of students each year to give up their textbooks, hindering their success. Book Education removes this obstacle by distributing free books at the start of the semester, to allow everyone to study in better conditions.
The challenges our initiative tackles differ from one place to another.
Book Education
A project that seeks to improve education in Africa by sparking interest in reading and promoting a learning culture centered on books.
Our activity in Africa
In West Africa, we help improve access to education by distributing textbooks and general culture books.
High cost of books
Students often have to give up buying their textbooks due to budget constraints, depriving them of essential pedagogical tools.
Student precarity
Students face constant trade-offs between essential needs and studies, many live in precarity and exhaustion, weakening their success.
Saturated libraries
Libraries, despite their efforts, lack diverse resources and impose long waiting times, leaving some students without access to essential works.
Need for self-training
Self-training is essential to complement classroom teaching, but due to lack of budget, students resort to pirated PDFs or illicit practices.
A sad reality
Buying books is a daily struggle for many European students.
Faced with growing precarity, thousands of students in France and Germany give up their university ambitions to meet their vital needs, thus sacrificing talents and ideas that could have fueled tomorrow's innovation.
Fragmented and incomplete knowledge
When students cannot afford all recommended books, their learning remains partial, relying on summaries, notes, or free online articles, which weakens their understanding and competitiveness.
Overload and demotivation
Not having the right books leads to spending hours searching for alternatives, filling gaps with unreliable resources, causing discouragement, demotivation, and eventually abandoning subjects.
Social injustice in lecture halls
Some students have all textbooks while others have none, creating a financial difference that becomes a difference in level, fostering a feeling of injustice and fragility in university cohesion.
Studies interrupted too early
Due to lack of resources, some students stop their studies prematurely to enter active life, seeking immediate income to help their families. Each abandonment represents wasted potential and a society deprived of future skills.

Between rent and groceries, books often come last. We put essential books into the hands of those who need them most.
