Where can we find in kind support for Kajjansi Children's Centre

Paul would like to find in kind support for the school BEHOD set up.
We'll apply for books at Biblionef. Mary posted a huge list of organisations in the Fundraising group:
Over time I have created a list of potential sources of funding, books etc which I add to as I find things.
It is at
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dgs9fnp6_0g5zp8p3n
and has the following sections:
1.SOURCES OF FUNDING
2.EQUIPMENT/SUPPLIES DONATIONS
3.BOOK DONATIONS AND LOW COST BOOKS
4.TWIN SCHOOLS/PARTNERSHIPS
5.OTHER PARTNERHSHPS
6.ONLINE FUNDRAISING
All villages are very welcome to use this information!

This is a great start for finding the right organisations.
Please share your experiences and ideas here!

Hi Paul and Pelle
As well as Biblionef, I know schools that have received books from several of the other organisations on that list, so may be worth trying them as well.
We also have a related discussion in Masaka village at http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/masaka/project/task/find-books-school-l... including contacts for some book-related organisations in Uganda. As far as I know Christopher (LR) has not had any success with them yet, but may be worth you trying too.
Can you provide more information on the items other than books that you need?
Mary
Hi Mary,
Thanks for the link :-)
There's a lot of useful information there!

One of the Local Rep's that I work with in Nepal was able to secure 3000 books for their school library simply by contacting local publishing houses in Nepal. This prompted me to look for resources within Uganda that you might contact. So far, I came up with these:

I believe from what I read that this organization has a division within Uganda, (The Reading Association of Uganda)
Uganda Community Libraries Association
http://www.ugcla.org/aboutus.htm
According to their website, they distribute $1000 grants each year to 6 libraries who submit strong proposals.

I am not sure that this one would be able to donate books, but it really looks like a great organization that encourages women to write.
We'll have a look at the sites to see which ones would match.

From the same discussion in Masaka:
Biblionef
http://www.biblionef.org/
Send reading books (not school textbooks) to schools, orphanages etc in developing countries all over the world. They do not charge for shipping and have already assisted several other projects on Nabuur. Note that although the application page suggests they will only assist places that don’t have any books at all, that is not the case. As far as I know they only supply books in English.
How to apply:
http://www.biblionef.org/index.php?id=78
“ARE YOU AWARE OF A PROJECT?
Are you aware of a school, a children's home or other social service institution in a developing country, where children would love to read, but do not have any children's books at all? Send your request for children's books to Biblionef.
State clearly:
• what kind of institution you have in mind: a school, an orphanage or an other project for child care, a short description;
• the age classification of the children who are going to read the books;
• how many children are going to use the books;
• proportion boy's and girls;
• the official language area of the regions and the country;
• name, address and a contact person of the institution where the books are to be send to;
• a telephone number of the contact person on the spot there and if available a fax number and e-mail address; this is necessary for the transport.”
Send email to biblionef@kb.nl
I will write to Biblionef.
