Room To Read

The following quote is the Room To Read Mission Statement retrieved from the Room To Read website

We partner with local communities throughout the developing world to provide quality educational opportunities by establishing libraries, creating local language children's literature, constructing schools, providing education to girls and establishing computer labs. We seek to intervene early in the lives of children in the belief that education empowers people to improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries and future generations. Through the opportunities that only education can provide, we strive to break the cycle of poverty, one child at a time.

Room To Read projects include:
*School Rooms,
*Reading Rooms,
*Local Language Publishing,
*Computer Rooms, and
*A Girl's Scholarship.
