Donate to Educate: Room to Read's Mission

After seeing a child sell marvel action figures on the road during my visit in India, I realize that education is the ultimate equalizer, and my goal is to raise money for the organization Room to Read. By raising 2500$, we can make a significant impact in the lives of 50 kids.

Help children in need get the books they deserve!
Our names are Natalie, Dalia, Alice and Kaylee, and we are 8th graders at St. Louis Park Middle School. Each year, the 8th graders do a community project, where they focus on one community in need and do something to help it. Since we all love books and reading, and know that not everyone is able to afford books like we can, we decided to focus on getting books to people, specifically children, in need. While researching different book-based organizations, we found Room to Read. Room to Read stood out to us because instead of just giving children books and leaving, they really try to help the children they donate books to by helping to train teachers and librarians that live in the countries they're helping out in, donating books in the children's native languages so they understand them better, gathering culturally relevant books to help get the kids excited about reading, making vibrant and fun reading spaces, and focusing on developing both reading skills and habits of reading, so kids will continue to read as they get older. They also focus on more girls going at least through secondary school and getting the same opportunities as boys, and since we all feel very strongly that women's rights are important, we feel like this organization is the best one for us. Our goal is to raise $50, which will help a kid learn to read and write for a whole year! We will take any donation, no matter how small, and hope you'll consider donating to change a kid's life forever.

Educating under-privileged children
In November I will be building a house in Nepal with Habitat for Humanity. I've already paid for my Habitat trip and I want to raise additional money for a worthy cause.

I was inspired to do this trip after reading the book 'Leaving Microsoft to Change the World' by John Wood. This book chronicles his journey from a high paying job at Microsoft to creating a non-profit aimed at educating the children of Nepal. This non-profit has evolved over the years and is now called Room to Read.

Room to Read is focused on teaching children in under-privileged countries how to read. This is such a basic thing that many of us take for granted and I'm hoping you will donate to this worthy cause.

Room to Read has the highest possible rating on Charity Navigator which means the money you give will be well spent. I have already paid my Habitat dues and 100% of the money raised will be donated to Room to Read.

Thank you for your support!

Helping Kids Learn to Read!
As an avid reader, I've always had a heart for teaching kids how to read. But I want to go beyond teaching my younger siblings and kids in my community how to read. I want to help kids learn to read all over the world.

About Room to Read

Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, Room to Read is creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality. We are achieving this goal by helping children in historically low-income communities develop literacy skills and a habit of reading, and by supporting girls as they build skills to succeed in school and negotiate key life decisions. We collaborate with governments and other partner organizations to deliver positive outcomes for children at scale. Room to Read has benefited more than 32 million children and has worked in 21 countries and in more than 49,000 communities, providing additional support through remote solutions that facilitate learning beyond the classroom. Room to Read aims to benefit 40 million children by 2025.
