LWB's mission is improve access to information resources regardless of language, religion, or geography, by forming partnerships with community organizations in developing regions.

LWB's Inaugural Project
Biblioteca Tutangi, a Portuguese language library in Huambo, Angola
LWB and Angolan partners are working to create medical and nursing collection that will support the learning needs of university students in Huambo. The university students were without access to a library until the Catholic Mission acquired and renovated a building in early 2004. Their goal is to fill the library's empty shelves, populate it with skilled support staff, and establish a plan that ensures its long-term viability.
