Books for places without books

SaySi

It has been reported that an AI company bought millions of print books, scanned them to train AI, and then destroyed the paper copies.

We do not want knowledge to be held by a few.

So we want to buy books and give them to children who have none.

The pledge

We set aside at least 5% of the SaySi app's net profit.

The money goes to sending books to places that have no books or libraries.

Plus subscriptions and pearl packs both count. We do not take donations in the app.

How it works

  1. This page always shows the total.
  2. Each time the fund reaches US$500, we send books.
  3. After each send we publish the record here: what we sent, where, how much it cost, and a link to the receipt.
