SHARE in Africa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports girls' education in Africa.[1] It was founded in 2008 by Shannon McNamara with the mission to address the 'book famine' in Africa by providing girls with learning materials.[2]

Since its inception, SHARE has given educational opportunities to thousands of girls in Tanzania. Specifically, 40,000 students and teachers in 9 schools in Africa have been supplied with tons of learning materials including 33,000 books, laptop computers, and E-readers.[3] SHARE has built libraries, a community center, computer rooms, and has installed electricity and solar power into the Tanzanian schools.[4]

SHARE is now focusing its efforts on sponsoring girls to attend secondary school.[5]

Shannon McNamara spoke about SHARE's work educating girls at the White House in 2011 as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of International Women's Day.[6][7] She also wrote a blog for the White House [8]

SHARE is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida in the United States.
