ABOUT US
The mission of the Pan African Book Foundation, is to enhance the quality and standard of education in African rural schools and to promote works of African origin.
The idea for such a body was first mooted in 1976, founded by Shadrack Munisi. The Pan African Book Foundation started off as a committee for the organisation of the African studies library which aimed to: ‘collect under one roof all publications written by African people, which would include works written by people of African origin and also others.
