Our Vision
We have a pretty simple vision, and it’s something that you can help make happen. We want to provide enough books so that schools in the Pacific can have libraries full to overflowing with quality books, books that will capture the imagination of every child and inspire them as they progress through school.  

Our Mission
Our mission is to help educate the children of the Pacific by focusing on literacy. Working with schools, we will provide the books needed to help develop a life-long habit of reading. 

Jeff Evans launched An Ocean of Books in 2010 after visiting Niue High School and witnessing the lack of resources available.  “The students are hungry to learn, but honestly, the resources are stretched beyond belief.” Jeff initially auctioned off a couple of photographs taken in Niue to raise funds to purchase a digital camera for Niue High School's Art Department. “It was great to help the High School, but of course I wanted to do more, so An Ocean of Books was born."

It’s early days, but the support to date has been overwhelming. "The opportunity to send books to school libraries throughout the Pacific is something people get really enthusiastic about. Supporters like the idea of making a difference in the Pacific."

An Ocean of Books is registered with the Charities Commission under registration number CC44309.
