Books for Belize

In 2025, CBM began a program to establish libraries in rural village schools where some children have never seen a book and almost none have had one in their homes. Several schools provided us with a room which CBM repaired and equipped with shelves and tables. Over 15,000 books were donated and shipped to Belize. Several part-time “librarians” were funded. During the 2025/26 school years, seven libraries were established and three additional schools received shelves and books for within their classrooms. OUR GOAL FOR 2026: 15,000 donated books, $7,500 for shipping, and $4,500 for repairs and furniture, and $4,500 to provide funding for three new librarians.
