Why your help matters
We want to ensure every child has access to a high-quality education, with appropriate grade-level texts, a library budding with books, and a safe classroom with teachers helping them resist pressure to drop out for work or marriage. We're creating world change that helps low-income communities break the cycle of poverty by improving literacy rates and getting one step closer to graduation day.

Dear _______________ ,
Reading is a skill that has a transformative impact on children, families and communities. I am excited to take part in Room to Read’s Summer Reading Challenge, and would love if you would sponsor me to help make an impact. It only costs CHF/$ 1 for Room to Read to produce and distribute a book, so every donation counts...hopefully we can fill a whole library together!
My goal is to read __________________________________ this summer, and I’m proud to dedicate my summer reading to Room to Read.
To sponsor me, please give my parents cash/coins or donate online at this link:
