Books for Blantyre, an entirely not-for-profit project, is designed to help the students at Blantyre International University in Malawi gain access to textbooks.

Actuarial Science Department Wish List

The following textbooks represent the wish list of the Actuarial Science Department at Blantyre International University. Ten, fifty, and sometimes two hundred students share the one or two copies of a course's textbook that are kept in the university library. Students usually do not have access or funds to purchase their own textbooks for their university classes.


At the moment, because this project is in its infancy, I am asking for donations of only textbooks (or any newer editions of these textbooks) on the Wish Lists.
