FAVL Libraries

Below is a listing of libraries we currently assist directly. They are grouped as FAVL-managed (libraries for which FAVL at present assures long-term funding for operations and continuous improvement) and FAVL-affiliated (libraries where FAVL assists with management oversight in cooperation with the rural mayor and rural council, or other local entity, and where FAVL provides financing from funds so-designated by donors). Our aspiration for long-term financial commitment and support to libraries depends on donor support.
