Fighting educational inequality, one book at a time.
Only 41% of Indonesian adolescents graduate senior high school.
Bookdrives.id is a non-profit organization that collects and donates secondhand books to low-income schools in Indonesia. We believe in three guiding principles: improving literacy skills, promoting green storytelling, and cultivating a love for reading.
What do we do?
We collect and donate secondhand books to low-income communities across the country.
We work with schools and orphanages involved in the Yayasan Panah Nusantara network, a government-registered non-profit organization that supports over twenty child-centered national institutions. Our events primarily consist of community visits, during which we engage children in reading and writing activities and present teachers with their new storybooks.
At the moment, we are expanding our operations to prioritize deeper connections with our students while simultaneously aiming to foster wider partnerships with local communities.

FAQs

Bookdrives.id works closely with Yayasan Panah Terang Nusantara (PTN), a non-profit organization officially registered with the Indonesian government. PTN has a network of 18 schools and orphanages located across Indonesia, which we most commonly work with to donate books. However, we also work with other communities if they express interest in receiving our book donations.
