Our mission

Books where they are needed most.

Anansi Dreams was founded in memory of Poula Pook Cadle to expand literacy access for poor and marginalized children in Belize through the provision of classroom libraries.

Many communities, schools, and households in Belize face limited access to books. Every dollar donated goes directly to the purchase and distribution of books for children who need them most.

“Books give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”
