The Literacy pillar is driven by a clear vision: to ensure everyone can experience the life-changing magic of reading. Olivia believed deeply in this mission—her love of books was matched only by her passion for helping others discover that same joy. You can be part of that legacy. Your support can open the door to literacy for children in Africa and for neighbors right in your own community, bringing books—and the possibilities they hold—within reach.
When Olivia discovered that millions of children in Africa had never held a book—and that countless girls were denied the chance to learn – she felt compelled to make a difference. One of her goals was to spend her summers in Africia and teach firsthand. Although she never had the chance, her vision lives on. The Live Like Livy Foundation partners with Books for Africia to carry that mission forward. With every book sent, new opportunities open for girls and students across the continent – and you can help write the next chapter.
The Foundation is proud to offer beautifully crafted sharing libraries, lovingly designed by Olivia’s cousins to reflect her deep love of reading. A Livy’s Bookhive is more than a bookshelf—it’s a way to spread stories, inspire joy, and build community. What better way to share your favorite books and promote literacy than by installing one right where you live, work or play?
