The 2022 Global Peace Index (GPI) report, the world’s leading measure of global peacefulness, reveals that the average level of global peacefulness deteriorated by 0.3 per cent.
Although slight, this is the eleventh deterioration in peacefulness in the last fourteen years, with 90 countries improving, 71 deteriorating and two remaining stable in peacefulness, highlighting that countries tend to deteriorate much faster than they improve.
On June 30, Books For Africa closed its fiscal year 2022. We are very pleased to announce that despite mounting logistical and financial challenges, we achieved our third most successful fiscal year to date, shipping over 3.2 million books, and 1,065,000 digital books on 355 computers and tablets, to 27 countries in Africa.
The value of BFA’s shipments totaled over $26.7 million. BFA raised over $3.2 million to ship these books to readers in Africa.
Thank you for your support in fiscal year 2022! Check out a graphic chart of our shipments accomplished over the past year below…
Libraries often lack the funds to buy books for higher-education students, and practising professionals can also not purchase the up to date books they need. Unreliable internet and electricity mean that digital information is often out of reach as well.
In response, in 2021 we provided 60,438 higher education books and 89,069 medical books around the world to support higher-education students and practising professionals in a variety of fields.
