We are fundraising for Room to Read because we believe that world change starts with educated children.
Bain Capital's mission is to work together with portfolio companies to realize sustainable growth, and to contribute to the development of industry and the economy in Japan and around the world, thereby creating a more prosperous world.
We feel that there is a strong synchronization between Room to Read's vision of a world where all children can realize their full potential through quality education and contribute to their local communities and the world by investing in the future of the world's children.
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.

Cause to Support:
Your donation to our page will benefit childrens' education in Bangladish. Bangraldish has truly faced complex challenges over the last few years; including the prolonged school closures from global pandemic, climate-related crises, and managing a large influx of Rohingya refugee families from Myanmar fleeing persecution. Despite these setbacks, Bangladesh has made important strides in increasing primary school enrollment for students living in even the most marginalized communities. However, this progress can be accelerated by bringing high-quality literacy and life skills programs to schools throughout the country. Your investment in Bangladesh will expand Room to Read’s programs to more schools and students, while also investing in the sustainable transformation of the education sector to ensure every child can benefit from a quality education, now and in the future.

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.
