I was 'Changemaker of the Month' and my organization Borderline Books has been nominated for a number of prizes in the Netherlands, but never got further than runner up (once including a cash consolation prize).
I think what we do is unique and easily replicated anywhere books are plentiful.
Basically we try to prevent books from being pulped, collect them and redistribute them to people and organizations – as local as possible – who are unable to purchase books. This includes organizations working with refugees, homeless people, people needing psychiatric support, women's refuges, inner-city youth groups and more.
Check out the site – a new design is in progress and should be up and running in a couple of weeks, but all the information is here.
