Education is the best way to improve the state of the world 

Room to Read envisions a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality through its evidence-driven programs.

Room to Read is a leader in gender education around the globe. With nearly 25 years of experience, Room to Reach has reached more than 325,000 girls in 10 countries through its impactful Girls’ Education Program, which is one of the world’s longest and most comprehensive programs dedicated to girls’ education and gender equality.  

Globally, 97% of girls benefiting from Room to Read's Girls’ Education Program successfully advance to the next grade level, and 96% graduate secondary school. Five years after the program, 79% of graduates are either employed or enrolled in higher education.

Room to Read’s tried-and-true program builds girls’ skills while helping entire communities understand and support gender equality education. By providing life skills lessons, one-on-one and group mentoring, family and community engagement, inspiring multimedia, and more for the girls who need it the most, Room to Read is contributing to meaningful generational change.  

By the end of 2027, we aim to:

- Double the number of active children benefiting from Room to Read’s materials and approaches. 
- Double the number of communities benefiting from Room to Read’s materials and approaches. 
- Increase new countries benefiting from Room to Read’s materials and approaches.
- Increase the number of educators and creatives with capacity to improve children’s foundational learning outcomes.
