Our Impact
Our volunteers have improved the lives of millions of disadvantaged students by providing educational opportunity. BOOKS for the BARRIOS is an all-volunteer 501 (c)(3) corporation for public benefit with headquarters in Walnut Creek, California, that has operated since 1981.
What we do
BftB aims to improve the quality of education for underprivileged youth in deprived communities around the world with our focus being on deprived, depressed regions in the Philippines. Through our powerful, effective and culturally sensitive programs we continue to empower American children to be leaders in the global community and give the gift of education to millions of children.
We seek donations of Kindergarten through Grade Six reading books and educational resources such as math manipulatives, puzzles, and art supplies. We do not accept American history or biographies, religious material, foreign languages, or encyclopedias.

Math

Our numbers that speak
