Room to Read is a global organization transforming the lives of millions of children in low-income communities by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education.

We work in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations, and governments to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children and ensure girls can complete secondary school with the skills necessary to negotiate key life decisions.
