Room to Read was founded on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children. We operate in 16 countries throughout Asia and Africa and seek to transform the lives of millions of children by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education.
This year school is looking vastly different both here and around the world as we navigate through COVID-19 and the challenges of providing education safely and effectively.
"Just having great ideas is not enough. Our business is about transforming lives, and we can’t just talk; we have to act." Room to Read CEO Geetha Murali
Room to Read is no stranger to challenging circumstances having worked in post tsunami Sri Lanka and the aftermath of the earthquake in Nepal, sharing our expertise and resources to help restore education.
When COVID-19 closed schools and altered how education was delivered Room to Read acted swiftly to ensure that education endured. We forged new partnerships with local Radio/TV stations allowing us to broadcast our literacy programs, we now contact our students, teachers and parents through direct messaging, and books are accessed on our Literacy Cloud providing access to hundreds of titles in multiple languages.
One of our greatest challenges during Covid -19 is keeping adolescent girls in school. Millions are at risk of not returning from this lengthy absence and it is well documented that when girls are educated, they marry later, earn more, are healthier and build better futures for themselves, their family and their community. We are ensuring the girls we work with stay connected with local, trained female, mentors to help them through this time and continue their studies and life skills training. Together we can help children build resilience and maintain hope for the future.
Volunteer Chapters of Room to Read from across North America are coming together to fundraise for our programs, we hope you will join us and share this with your networks.
The funds raised from Education Unstoppable will ensure that children continue their education and have the materials and assistance they need to succeed. When the pandemic subsides, we look forward to returning to the communities and continuing our regular programming.
With your support we can protect children’s futures making sure education is accessible and safe.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
