My Room to Read Fundraiser
Hi there 👋 On September 9, I'll begin a 3-day journey from Faro to Lisbon, cycling over 300km with a group of riders in a fundraising event organized by TechBikers to support Room to Read.
I'm fundraising for Room to Read because I believe world change starts with educated children.
Room to Read envisions a world where all children can pursue a quality education that enables them to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities and the world.
By focusing on literacy and gender equality in education, Room to Read transforms the lives of millions of children in low-income communities. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, they help primary school children develop literacy skills and a habit of reading, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.
Your donation to my page will be an investment in children's futures. I appreciate your support!
WHAT'S TECHBIKERS?
Initiated in 2012 by Eze Vidra, Techbikers is a collaboration within the London tech startup community aimed at supporting the children's literacy charity Room to Read.
Since its inception a decade ago, over 1,000 tech professionals — including startups, venture capitalists and executives — have cycled over 6,000 kilometres for the cause.
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.
