FROBS - Friends Of Old Books - A Project By Aabshar-e-ilm
(This is non-profit project)
(This is non-profit project)
FROBS was launched and co-founded 2008 as a non-profit project where the first priority was to help needy students and recycle books. The project was launched and is being run under the supervision of the management of Aabshar-e-ilm.
The aim of our non-profit organization FROBS is to provide used books / second hand books at low prices to people of Karachi - in only two categories, for Rs.50 and Rs. 100. We collect the books of O/A Level, BBA, MBA, Medical, Economics, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Accounting, Statistics, Engineering, Science or any course related BOOK. We offer the service of home collection/home delivery to the people living in Karachi (to people who want to make a donation AND to people who want some books) for which we charge an extra amount of Rs 100,which goes directly into the pocket of our motorbike rider for the expense of fuel consumption.
SELL Or Donate Used Books For a Greater Cause
HOW TO SELL OR DONATE:
To acheive this aim we need your support and you have two options:
The First Option is to sell your course books for Rs 20 Per KG. ( It's worth noting that people are selling books to the "KABARI" at Rs 8 to Rs 10 Per KG, we are offering double that price just for the reason we don't want valuable books to end up in some Paan Shop,and we are here to start a process of recycling. We care about books and we urge you to do the same. The books that you will throw away or give to someone who does not know their value would be a shame. We are here to offer the right book to the right person. FROBS team forwards these books to the right candidate in two categories: Rs 50 and Rs 100. Please note that we charge this minimum amount for the expenses we bear for running this project and the amount we collect is barely enough to cover all necessary and urgent expenses. This is not a profit-making project.
The Second Option is to donate for the greater cause which is to help others. Your donations will be handled under the watch of our vigilant team of people who are related to the field of education and our team will make sure that your donations reach the right student. FROBS makes sure that all donations are only donated further to the students. We do NOT charge a single rupee for the books which come in donations,which means the candidate would receive the book/books for absolutely free of charge (Rs. 100 delivery charges apply on request of home delivery).

For Foreigners:
People living outside Pakistan who wish to donate books to the children of a third world country are welcome to do so. We encourage foreigners (overseas Pakistanis and non-Pakistanis) to serve humanity,help erase poverty and give education a boost in a developing country.
Don't forget to make a call on +9213-2287896 or send a mail on [email protected] when sending the package.
Due to the expenses we are already bearing it is very difficult for us to pay for the shipment of the books. Our foreign donors are requested to please bear the full cost of shipping charges. In return, we guarantee that the donated books will reach the most deserving candidate. FROBS is also starting a regularly updated photo gallery very soon, which will contain photographic proof of every donation made.
NOTE: We do not buy books from foreign donors. We only accept donations and we expect the donor to bear the full (or half) cost of the shipment charges.
We are also donating books on regular basis to children from poverty stricken areas in Sindh,Pakistan and many government schools in Karachi as government schools,sadly, are where students from poor families study.
