Many children around the world have no access to books and struggle to learn how to read. Reading opens doors to new worlds, knowledge, and dreams – but only if books are available. Biblionef has been helping for 33 years by sending books in Dutch and English to children in disadvantaged areas. These books make a difference by fostering their language development and sparking a love for reading. You can help too!
With your donation, you can ensure a child receives a book this Christmas. Together, we can spread the joy of reading and give children a chance for a brighter future.

♡ Join us, share our message and help us to give every child the joy of reading!

Give every child the joy of reading! 
Reading opens their world! 

Biblionef wants to make children all over the world enthusiastic about reading, because reading pleasure opens their world! Reading is not only fun, but also good for their personal and social development.  

It makes their world larger and a lot more fun! That is why Biblionef cooperates with schools, libraries and other organisations in areas where reading is not so ordinary at all. Because every child should be able to read, no matter where they are in the world!
