Books Deserve More Than the Bin
Kitaaby is Riyadh's first used-book donation platform — turning shelves of unused books into Sadaqah Jariyah for families who cannot afford them.
Our Mission
We believe every book deserves a second life. In Riyadh, thousands of books sit on shelves gathering dust — or worse, end up in landfill. Meanwhile, many families cannot afford books, especially international curriculum textbooks. Kitaaby bridges this gap: we pick up books from your door, inspect and grade them at our warehouse, and list them on our store — free for giveaway or priced for rare titles. Every book either finds a new reader or is responsibly recycled. Nothing is wasted.
The Problem We Solve
Books Gathering Dust
Thousands of books sit unused on shelves across Riyadh — forgotten, outdated, or simply no longer needed.
Expensive Books
International curriculum books are very expensive. Many families cannot afford them, limiting their children's education.
Books in Landfill
When people clear their shelves, books often end up in landfill — wasting knowledge and harming the environment.
Our Solution
Kitaaby creates a simple, end-to-end cycle that turns unused books into ongoing charity:
Home Pickup
We come to your door anywhere in Riyadh to collect your books
Warehouse Processing
Books are inspected, graded, photographed, and categorized
Store Listing
Good books are listed as free giveaway or priced for rare titles
Delivery to Readers
Families order and receive books at their door — paying only delivery
Sadaqah Jariyah — Endless Reward
"When a person dies, their deeds end except three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them."
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Sahih Muslim 1631 ↗
Your donated books are all three: ongoing charity that spreads knowledge to families who cannot afford books.
