Sarah's Rural Library Fund is a UK based charity which supports the work of the Rural Libraries Project in Cajamarca, Northern Peru. The Libraries promote literacy and equality in the indigenous communities of the high Andes. This organisation is run entirely by volunteers who walk through the mountains carrying books on their backs and exchanging the books between libraries that are held in people's homes and in schools. They also publish their own books based on Andean history and culture. The charity was set up in memory of librarian Sarah Heery in 2011.
