Room to
Read partners with local communities throughout the
developing world to establish schools, libraries, and other
educational infrastructure. We seek to intervene early in the
lives of children in the belief that education is a lifelong
gift that empowers people to ultimately improve socioeconomic
conditions for their families, communities, countries, and
future generations. Through the opportunities that only an
education can provide, we strive to break the cycle of poverty,
one child at a time. |
