Our Story
YO’ Books Limited is the South Sudan’s leading & independent bookstore committed to offering a quality selection of affordable new, bargain, and gently read books in print and digital format, as well as gifts and educational items for customers of all ages and backgrounds, ensuring that both local and international content is easily available at local prices. We believe that books have power to change us - “for good”. We belief that South Sudan as a new Country need long term, sustainable good changes and books have a role to play due to their good, supportive and positive influence. We are passionate about the written word and seek to share our love of reading to help create and sustain a community of lifelong and active readers in South Sudan. We strive to provide a hospitable and nurturing environment to encourage the healthy exchange of ideas by hosting numerous readings, book clubs, panel presentations, book launches and on-line discussions.
We are committed to engaging with the many diverse peoples and organizations in South Sudan, particularly in Juba City, but also on a national and international scale, to work towards the goals of a knowledgeable public and a peaceful and environmentally sustainable South Sudan and Africa as a whole.
The idea of YO’ Books started way back in 2010 by Mr. Yohanis Riek, who arrived in Juba, South Sudan, in February 2010 at the age of twenty four to study at University of Juba’s Medical School. Despite a limited basic school education as a result of civil wars, he became a passionate reader, buying a book a week.
Mr. Yohanis Riek, having nowhere to access books himself, then conceptualized the idea of having a bookstore where people with the same problem will have access to books. He then raised and invested private funds into the initiative, ensuring that it would be more than a place for people with means to buy books but also a place for low income people to feel welcome.
