World Change Starts with Educated Children.®

We strive for a world where under every circumstance, quality education for children is upheld as a human right, and where all children, especially girls, have access to better opportunities and a bright future.

Room to Read India was officially established in 2003 and seeks to transform the lives of millions of children across India by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. While our Literacy Program encourages fluency among early learners, our Girls' Education Program develops life skills so that girls graduate with the right skills to succeed both in and out of school.

““Education, after all, is the one issue that affects every other one. I think of it in the same way as dropping a pebble into a pond and getting a ripple effect. Educated people make more money and are more likely to escape poverty. Educated parents raise healthier children.” ” John Wood Founder, Room to Read
