Room to Read partners with local communities throughout the developing world to establish schools, libraries, and other educational infrastructure. We seek to intervene early in the lives of children in the belief that education is a lifelong gift that empowers people to ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries, and future generations. Through the opportunities that only an education can provide, we strive to break the cycle of poverty, one child at a time.Visit my lens on Squidoo to view a list of books, DVD’s and memorabilia about South Africa, one of the countries where Room to Read is active. 40% profits from sales I get from Amazon and eBay will go to the Room to Read.
