Dear donors,
Thanks to your difts, in 2023, Libraries Without Borders' actions benefited 497,000 people in 22 countries.
From libraries deployed in Turkey and Morocco following earthquakes, to those accompanying women survivors of sexual violence in conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to the creation of an educational kit to combat illiteracy through radio in French Guiana, our teams have never ceased to innovate and reinvent themselves this year in order to respond as effectively as possible to the needs of the most vulnerable populations.

"MY BAG OF BOOKS": SHARING THE JOY OF READING AND WELCOMING VISITORS
Throughout the month of June, BSF once again offered backpacks filled with books to 3,000 allophone students newly arrived in France and attending school in the academies of Amiens, Aix-Marseille, Créteil, Paris, and also in Strasbourg, designated World Book Capital in 2024 by UNESCO.
In each of these bags: books chosen especially for them by peers their own age. This program, supported by BSF for the sixth consecutive year, is a large-scale educational project aimed at students enrolled in UPE2A - Unité pédagogique pour élèves allophones arrivants. This National Education scheme enables children newly arrived in France to be enrolled in an "ordinary" class, while benefiting from adapted support to learn French. Fully included in the school system, these students can meet new people and regain their self-confidence.
Throughout the month of June, 3,000 pupils from CP to 3ème received a bag of five books chosen especially for them - according to their age, level of French, interests - thanks to educational work carried out with their teachers and classmates, based on a bibliography and activity sheets drawn up by BSF.
