Books for Development is an NPO (Non-Profit Organization) located in Houston, TX, and their main goal is to help increase the literacy rate in countries around the world. Through book donations, Books for Development is able to move one step closer to achieving their goal. Books for Development ship their books out to countries such as Uganda, Kenya, and Mexico; they also ship their books out to places around the USA such as the Harris County Jail.
