Alfred Chidembo turned humble beginnings into a powerful sense of purpose to promote education for all and improve literacy through reclaimed and rescued books once destined for landfill. Through his charity Aussie Books for Zim, Alfred has established libraries and has sent thousands of books back home in Zimbabwe, turning trash into treasure. His goal is to place a book in the hands of every child in Africa.
