About Building with Books
Building with Books (bwb) is anon-profit organization that empowers primarily urban US high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs. In addition to tremendous contributions of community service in their own cities and neighborhoods, bwb youth actually build schools and bring literacy to children and adults in developing countries around the world. bwb programs are designed to build confidence and real-world capabilities in American youth while also empowering communities world-wide to overcome the crippling cycle of illiteracy, poverty and low expectations by opening the door to education. bwb's unique approach not only encourages involvement but produces tangible results. In the past year alone, bwb students in six US regions have contributed more than 100000 hours of service and touched the lives of 156000 elders, homeless, disabled and young children in their communities. Since 1992, US student volunteers have helped build more than 260 schools in rural regions of developing nations including Haiti, Malawi, Mali, Nepal, Nicaragua and Senegal. More than 108000 children and adults have attended those schools, with 30000 currently enrolled. Cumulatively, parents in developing countries have contributed more than 510000 volunteer work days toward building schools, taking the first step toward changing their own lives and their societies.
