Sponsor a Room to Read Project

Support a girl through our Room to Grow Girls' Scholarship Program:
Due to economics and cultural biases, young girls in the developing world are often left behind when it comes to educational opportunities. Room to Read provides long-term scholarships to deserving girls through the completion of secondary school.

Underwrite a local language children's book:
Because children's books are generally scarce in the countries in which we operate, Room to Read works with local authors and illustrators to create new titles.

Sponsor the building of a school through our School Room Program:
Schools are sparse in the developing world, and those that do exist are often ramshackle collections of crumbling bricks, loose sheet metal and dirt floors. Room to Read improves the learning environment for children by constructing new schools and repairing old ones.
