Quick Facts
Since 2008, PoP has impacted the lives of
over 300,000 people in the communities
they work in. They only choose
communities that are politically and
socially stable, willing to invest time and
effort into childrens education and
display a measurable need.
Every 90 hours they break ground on a
new school. Over 300 schools are
successfully operating in the four areas
of impact.
E-Readers are available to every student
to provide access to more than 50 books.
This is much more than could be
provided in physical form for them, and
the students are reading two times as
much as before.
100% success rate- each school that is
built is closely monitored to ensure its
success and sustainability.
100% direct giving means every dollar
raised online goes directly to the cause.

Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries
by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with
local communities, partner organizations and governments, we develop literacy skills and
a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary
school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.

about trash, consumption and the power of community.
