Budget:
$3758 (see details)
Goal:
To increase literacy and foster a culture of learning in Mwange Refugee Camp.

As of December 1, 2009, FORGE is no longer working in Mwange Refugee Camp. Thus, FORGE is no longer accepting funds for this project.

The FORGE Mwange Library is the sole library available to the 14,000-person community of Mwange Refugee Camp. The library's full name, Bibliotheque Alfajiri: Source de Connaissance means “Library of the Break of Dawn: Source of Knowledge” and was coined by the community to show their belief in the importance of education. Built in 2005, this library is a peaceful haven for the Mwange community to enjoy the selection of over 2,000 books. The library serves over 6000 visitors each year.
