Inspired by a 2017 trip to India where the first book donation drive was conducted for underprivileged kids, I decided to start helping kids through what I think is a resource many needy kids lack- proper education, and learning tools. When a child is deprived from essential resources, what they do afterward and their perception of the world is changed as an effect. With proper education comes the ability to think better, earn better and explore new horizons! But if a kid does not attend school or lacks educational resources, their view of the world would be constrained, they pick low income jobs early in their life and this cycle keeps going in a loop!
At Learning Quest, we are the break. We base all of our events on one common belief, all children deserve ACCESSIBLE LEARNING. In short, a learning quest is a journey to an underprivileged child’s success through community-based education services and resources that can be used by everyone alike. So please, take the initiative and join us, the LQ community, to support those who can’t achieve what they are capable of because of their lack of learning resources!

Since our founding in 2022, Learning Quest has donated over 10,000 books to roughly 22,000 children worldwide, from Madagascar to Ukraine. We have even encouraged other young changemakers to join our cause with 60+ passionate volunteers in 12 locations around the world.
Even the smallest of donations can make the biggest impact for an underprivileged child's learning success! We use the money to buy textbooks, education supplies or for shipping costs.
Any gently used story books, textbooks can be a great way to contribute to this cause. Any genres are welcome with recommended age group between 5-15 years age. We also accept STEM and art supplies.
