Wanna Build a School?

Room to Read is another one of our favorite great causes!

Room to Read partners with local communities throughout the developing world to establish schools, libraries, and other educational infrastructure. Room to Read seeks 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.

Think about this: Room to Read can fund a year of education for a girl---including tuition, uniforms, shoes, books, medical immunizations, transportation, tutoring, and more---for only $250. The organization can also can create and print new children's books for approximately $1 per book.

One person (or a small group) can have a lasting impact on an entire village with one investment.
