Your donation will help us provide educational opportunities to millions of children in the developing world. 2010 marks our tenth year of operation and we are on track to publish 550 local language children’s titles, establish over 11,000 bi-lingual libraries, partner with local villages to build 1,400 schools, and provide continuing education to over 10,000 girls through secondary school. At Room to Read we believe that there is no more valuable investment than the gift of education and the life change it can provide..
We currently focus our activities in nine countries, all with a desperate lack of educational resources: Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zambia. Thanks to the support of investors like you, we will reach over 5 million children through our educational programs by year’s end. We take our role as stewards of your gift extremely seriously and are proud that we have received the coveted Charity Navigator four-star rating for sound fiscal management for the past four years.
With your support, we will continue to scale and reach out to more communities providing educational access and opportunity. We look forward to celebrating the milestone of reaching 5 million children accessing our programs this year. Thank you again for joining us on this inspiring journey to provide the lifelong gift of education to millions of children in the developing world!
