WHAT IS READ & RISE?
Every year, thousands of books sit on shelves across Nigeria — collecting dust, outgrown by their owners, forgotten in storage. Meanwhile, students in underfunded schools and libraries across the country go without access to basic reading materials.
Read & Rise is RMA by Olushola’s book donation initiative — built on one simple belief: knowledge should never go to waste.
We collect used books from individuals, families, and organisations across Nigeria and donate them directly to schools, libraries, and less privileged communities where they are needed most.
A book you have finished reading could change a child’s life.
WHAT WE DO
📚 We Collect
We accept donated books from individuals, families, schools, and organisations. Whether it’s textbooks, storybooks, reference materials, or educational guides — if it can educate, we want it.
🚚 We Sort & Distribute
Every donated book is reviewed, sorted, and matched to the right institution. We ensure books reach students and readers who will benefit most from them.
🏫 We Deliver
We partner with schools and libraries across Nigeria to deliver books directly into the hands of students and readers who need them.
📖 We Document
Every donation is recorded and documented. Donors receive confirmation of where their books went and who they helped.
OUR PARTNERS
We are proud to be building partnerships with schools and libraries across Nigeria committed to making quality reading materials accessible to every student.
Our partner institutions will be announced here as we continue to grow the Read & Rise network.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. At Read & Rise, we believe every Nigerian child deserves access to that weapon.” — Olushola Akinlade, Founder, RMA by Olushola
