The campaign to finance the motorcycle library, Liv Kap Woule in Haiti ended with a great success, with the objective having been achieved and even surpassed thanks to 70 generous donors. The Haitian nonprofit JED, partnered with BSF, managed to collect the 6,000 euros ($6,700) necessary to buy the motorcycle, books and more. The project can now be launched!

A motorcycle library for schools and village squares

The motorcycle library will go from village to village, throughthe mountains in Haiti. It will be used in schools during the week and elsewhere in town on weekends. Along with the help of the motorcycle library, the facilitators from JED will be able to organize workshops ranging from writing to reading and theatre.

A much needed support that galvanized Jed

The JED team would like to express its profound acknowledgement of the generosity, support and confidence that the donors together have given them. A token of appreciation will be sent to all donors to thank them. For Julien, the director of JED and the young people who support him, this represents an additional source of motivation to complete this project in a sustainable and efficient fashion. And for the children of the region where they operate, this project will bring increased reading proficiency and literacy through the diffusion of information and knowledge.
