One donation. One full year of school for a child.
Because a book in every child’s hands is one more chance to succeed in life.
In Fondjomekwet, children go to school without textbooks
Every day without proper education is a missed opportunity for a child.
Without notebooks, without books, without trained teachers, these children attend school… without truly learning.We want to change this — with you.Village en Livres is an educational initiative led by the Cameroonian diaspora to improve access to education in rural areas.
We work in Fondjomekwet, a remote village in Cameroon, by installing mini school libraries, funding substitute teachers, and supporting students through educational scholarships.
Because no child should go through school without opening a book
✔Over 600 books delivered to villages without paved roads — thanks to you

Ghislaine Boundjia, Founder of Village en Livres
Originally from Fondjomekwet, a village nestled in the heart of Cameroon, Ghislaine Boundjia is driven by a powerful vision:
a world where every child — regardless of social or geographic background — has access to knowledge, dignity, and a future of their own choosing.At a young age, she founded Village en Livres, a solidarity-based educational initiative rooted in her unshakable belief in the power of education, mutual aid, and community to break social barriers and offer children a better future.For over 24 years, she has dedicated her life to this mission.
Through her perseverance and commitment, hundreds of children — especially in rural areas — have been supported, encouraged, and empowered to realize their potential.Village en Livres enables the creation of school libraries, the distribution of textbooks, and the support of substitute teachers.Ghislaine represents a generation of quiet builders — for whom every book opened is a door to freedom, and every child supported is a victory against injustice.
Education is not a luxury
1 in 3 children leaves primary school without knowing how to read.
We want to change this reality.
Curious and ready to learn
These children are only waiting for a pencil and a notebook to build their future.
This is not charity. It’s a right.
