While traveling on a medical mission to Liberia in 1961, Mrs. Gussie Hingson, wife of BBF founder Dr. Robert Hingson, noticed a lack of educational materials in many if not all of their schools. As a result of this trip, BBF’s Education Program was formed and the first collection of 100,000 school textbooks were sent to Liberia in 1962.
The program has since grown to not only provide donated educational materials but we also work with local communities to help repair schools damaged by hurricanes and other natural calamities such as earthquakes. In 2020, with the help of our partners, BBF donated approximately $5,000,000 in educational materials such as textbooks to 5 countries.
Brother’s Brother Foundation currently works with many organizations to send container shipments to various locations internationally. If you would like to request a container shipment, please view requirements below.
The requesting recipient must notify BBF of the material resources needed in the particular country. This document should be prepared by professionals and/or beneficiary participants with the knowledge of the needs in the country. In addition, complete and submit the Aid Request Form.
- A statement indicating that the donated goods will be distributed at no cost to the ultimate recipient.
Please be advised it is the responsibility of the recipient/sponsoring organization to cover the costs associated with the shipment (in-land and ocean transportation and BBF program service fee). If the material being requested by the recipient country will be used within a national and/or community development plan, BBF requires a copy of this plan that outlines the distribution process, duration of plan and evaluation process of the effectiveness. The consignee must be capable of clearing the container through customs and providing appropriate logistical in-country support. Once distributed, the recipient organization is required to provide BBF with distribution reports and other documentation such as photographs, newspaper articles and letters supporting the effort by appropriate officials and professionals.
The recipient is required to confirm its request for material selected from the BBF provided inventory list in writing. The list provided will include relative information such as product description, quantities on hand, dating information and any distribution restrictions.
