In addition, Sabre has worked both independently and with other organizations to send books to Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, former East Germany, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya, Nepal, People's Republic of China, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uganda, and in cooperation with the Peace Corps, to 20 countries in Africa and Asia. Scholars, students, scientists, researchers, medical professionals, lawmakers and fledgling entrepreneurs are among the beneficiaries of Sabre shipments. Sabre also administers a program for purchase of books and journal subscriptions at reduced cost and places private libraries and special collections with institutions abroad. In each country where Sabre is active, a designated non-profit partner organization administers the program. Partners select titles and quantities of books they wish to receive from inventory lists provided electronically by Sabre.
Partners are responsible for identifying recipient institutions and for nationwide distribution.
Established programs receive from one to three containers per year, depending on the size of the program and the availability of funding. See also a map of Sabre's world-wide programs , focusing on book donation activities.
