EFIL World Foundation partners with the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goal#4: Quality Education.
Our project is to build well furnished public libraries in African countries.

It results from our researches that The African educated people don’t really have a free access to books, apart from those enrolled in National Academic programs (which have to be purchased). This induces a narrow spectrum for their deployment in the field of knowledge acquisition.
Yet, with globalization, the knowledge should also be acquired, beyond the classical search, by curiosity and the possibility to discover other socio-cultural spaces and different areas of knowledge.
Although in most countries education is a fundamental right, the deplorable living conditions and the financial difficulties limit the aspiration of many parents to leave their children acquire a high level of education. In fact, all children do not have the privilege to be admitted to quality academic training;
The current trend is to send children in private schools which, although they offer good educational follow-up and use modern conventional equipment, are very expensive for most homes. The public school therefore remains their bulwark; yet most of the public schools are unfortunately under-equipped and do not have sustainable libraries likely to truly satisfy the intellectual curiosity of students.
Lots of people in Africa have never received the rudiments of instruction, either because people live in landlocked areas, either because their way of life does not consider school as a priority, either because these people suffer from a cerebral or physical disability.
Anyone can realize that in Africa, the failure in school is most often due to the lack of academic manuals. Thus, since the majority of students there are most of the time, very talented and intelligent, it is clear that going to the Library and especially finding appropriate books and tools will greatly contribute to reduce this failure.
