Donating Books to Kenya

Donating Books to Kenya

To entrench a reading culture amongst Kenyans, Halfpriced Books is always at the forefront of donating books to Kenya. Not only have we donated books, but we also made sure those purchasing books in bulk get exclusive deals, primarily if the books are meant for donations. 

So far, Halfpriced Books has donated more than 50,000 books to 127 institutions across all 47 counties in Kenya.

We have given out books to NGOs and schools, and community libraries to ensure everyone can access readers of all genres. 

Importance of book donation

Are you wondering why we keep donating books to Kenya? It’s simple! Besides promoting the reading culture among the people, we want people to imagine a world away from television and social media. Better still, we want to:

Share knowledge, stories, and adventures

Donating books to Kenya makes people more knowledgeable in social, political, and economic affairs. Most books address these aspects because they directly affect every sphere of life, especially in the African setting. 

Enhance focus and concentration among the readers

Another purpose for donating books to Kenya is to enhance focus and concentration amongst bibliophiles. Reading is helpful for anyone, and if people can access more books, they improve their knowledge, concentration, and focus, especially if they have gone through traumatic experiences. 

Make books accessible to all

It’s not every other person who has access to books. There are marginalized areas in Kenya where access to books is a big problem. By donating books to Kenya, Halfpriced Books ensures those affected can enjoy reading a book or two. 

School libraries in these marginalized regions can be stocked with relevant books that students can use for their studies. It is a way for us to give back to the community and ensure we combat illiteracy among our people. 


Halfpriced Books always offers discounts to those who buy books for donations. We have exclusive deals because we understand what you are trying to do here. Come and get your books in bulk from us and enjoy competitive discounts. We sell our books at half the price, and you can get these deals from any of our three bookstores across Nairobi City

If you are considering donating books to Kenya, please come to any of our stores and get all the books you want. You can also check our website and social media handles on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, and LinkedIn.
