Welcome to Books For Pinoys Foundation (BFP)

(BFP) Is a 501c nonprofit organization 87-1616616 designed to help children in education in the Philippines. What we have done since 2008 is sending books to less fortunate children to schools and libraries across the country including opening of 8 libraries. In 2015 total books sent had been 10,000 by a young boy with a vision with help from his parents and the community which made this happen. After which we continued to send books through the years until finally deciding to make it a foundation in 2021. The plan now is to build more libraries and send more books from our hub location in Tambis Palompon, Leyte which will be our first of many built from donations raised from raffles and sponsors here in the USA for the Philippines. Future plans will also include eBook’s, computers and scholarships with your help and support. So far, we have raised $30,000
