Most books are directly donated to AHL. Others are bought by AHL for the libraries. Costs depend on the book title, and can range between around £6 to even (rarely) up to £90 per book.
Photocopying and printing costs, paper, card, sellotape, glue, mobile phone credit for the librarian etc.
It costs around £250 per month on average to pay a member of AHL staff in Sierra Leone.
Travel of staff between libraries in Sierra Leone costs around £72 for a two night stay.
It costs around £15 to ship a box of books from the UK to Sierra Leone.
Hiring a 4x4 to take books from Freetown to the libraries costs at least £47 per day, plus fuel.
A book shelf costs around £50. We also spend money on tables, chairs, desks, cupboards, standing fans, etc.
We recently completed the construction of a Resource Centre at Makeni Government Hospital to replace the previous tiny library space. We hope to raise sufficient funds to do the same at Bo Government Hospital.
