About us
What we do
Books for Guyana is a project that brings reading books from Scotland to Indigenous communities in Guyana. In 2025, Books for Guyana established its first library in Chenapou Village and this year we are looking to expand our work by gaining official charity status.
Who we are
Who we support
Our library project is based in Guyana's hinterland and supports residents of Chenapou Village and its neighbouring Patamuna communities. Chenapou Library mostly functions to support the local nursery, primary and secondary school children. Despite national efforts to improve access to quality education for all, these Indigenous children face significant barriers in their learning. Books for Guyana's work aims to fill some of the gaps in access to schooling and lack of education resources.
