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.
"Our mission is to ensure that every child receives the lifelong gift of education. With the help of the "Oprah Winfrey Show"® we can dream big and reach our goal of establishing 20,000 bilingual libraries by the year 2020."
