Aims and Objectives:

• To help increase literacy in South Eastern Nigeria. To make public libraries, such as this one, a part of the living experience of the people.

• To use the libraries as a means of connection between the people of Eastern Nigeria and the rest of the world.

• To use the libraries to educate the people about the inalienable nature of human and civil rights in a developing Nigerian democracy.

• To help educate people in social justice as well as peaceful ways of resolving conflicts and crises.

• To create an awareness of the value of education through the organization of frequent seminars and symposia where invited speakers will assist people to actively participate in the welfare of their community through a sense of solidarity.

• The libraries should serve as center for regular academic writing contests aimed at promoting the rich history of Nigeria, and to provide an historical record of its history.

Mission Statement

Poverty has many layers. The most basic involves those things which sustain life – food, water, and clothing. However, there is a need which is just as essential as those just mentioned – the desire and the thirst for knowledge. The main objective of Project Educate Africa is to help to alleviate this thirst for the people of Eastern Nigeria.

To be illiterate is to be cut off from yourself and the world community. It is to live a half-life mired in frustration and unfulfilled human potential. Project Educate Africa will, by way of books and other educational resources, play its part in the transformation and empowerment of the people of Eastern Nigeria.
