Cameroon

In Cameroon, BSF has developed several projects to bring reading and educational resources to populations with limited access to books. In Maroua, two motorcycle libraries called Moota Andal navigate areas affected by Boko Haram terrorism, carrying an Ideas Cube and hundreds of books tailored to local audiences.

In Yaoundé, BSF has partnered with the CLAC of Mimboman since 2011, helping expand its collection, establish a bookbinding workshop, train staff, and grow its multimedia, recreational, and mobile offerings—including the installation of an Ideas Cube and launch of the Street CLAC mobile service.

In 2016, a mobile library began serving the capital’s outlying neighborhoods with books and tablets. After training from BSF, staff from the Central Public Reading Library now run it independently.
