Mission
Room to Read’s mission is to provide under-privileged children with an opportunity to gain the lifelong gift of education. It was founded on the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and taking control of one's own life.
Programs
Rather than apply a short-term solution, Room to Read seeks to intervene early in a child's life and provide ongoing educational opportunities in their communities. We have developed a successful three-pronged approach to tackling the problem of education by: - Partnering with communities to build schools; - Enhancing educational facilities within schools, including establishing libraries, computers labs and language training centers; - Providing scholarships for underprivileged young girls.
