Give your books a second life and make a positive impact

Extend a helping hand to Dignity Mama, an organisation dedicated to empowering young adults with disabilities, by enabling them to gain basic entrepreneurship skills and lead independent lives.

Together with their caregivers, the young adults sort, price, and sell donated books at Dignity Mama’s book kiosks, gaining real-world skills, confidence, and purpose.  These kiosks are located across major hospitals in Singapore. 

If you have pre-loved books to give, this is a great chance to donate for a good cause, help reduce waste, and give books a new lease on life.

Dignity Mama is a initiative by Project Dignity, whose mission is to build and return dignity to the disadvantaged and disabled through vacation with passion”.

This book donation drive is a part of our #MaxwellGoesGreen initiative.
