Over 300 million children around the world do not have access to education and most likely will never learn to read or write. Room to Read believes that all children, regardless of gender or background, have a right to education. By empowering children through this lifelong gift, Room to Read sees a world in which people are able to realize their full potential.
And If u decide to get drunk and also provide education why not from this one.
The Fledgling wine company Initiative based in california aims to make awesome wine for the benefit of “ Room to Read ”, a global non-profit organization extending literacy and educational opportunities to children worldwide. Every case sold will provide approximately 60 local language children’s books and promote education in the world’s poorest regions.
Room to Read began in Nepal ten years ago when Microsoft executive John Wood left his job to begin bringing donating books to rural communities. Today, it’s a global non-profit organization providing opportunities that change children's lives and communities throughout Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Zambia. To date, Room to Read has established more than 700 schools and over 7,000 bilingual libraries with five million books, and supports the education of nearly 7,000 girls. Room to Read’s programs have already reached more than three million children and hope to improve literacy for five million children by establishing over 10,000 libraries and distributing nearly nine million children's books by 2010.
Imagine a world in which every child has access to an education. Room to Read is making this dream a reality, one child at a time.
