Featured Charity: Room to Read

At Room to Read they envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world.

To achieve this goal, they focus on two areas where they believe they can have the greatest impact: literacy and gender equality in education.  They work in collaboration with communities and local governments across Asia and Africa to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the life skills they’ll need to succeed in school and beyond.

At Giving Through Jewelry, 10% of all sales are donated to a charity of the buyers choice. We realize that there are a lot of charities to choose from so we would like to highlight some of our favorites. February’s featured charity is Room to Read.  Check out our FACEBOOK page at the 5th of each month to see how much was donated or check out the Intro section of our Etsy page.

Get Involved

Join our global movement today and make your mark in the fight against poverty. Room to Read currently operates in ten countries in Asia and Africa. In each country, they adapt their five core programs to suit the individual needs of the population in question, ensuring that each dollar spent has the most possible impact on the children they serve.

They employ local teams, which are personally invested in their nation’s educational progress and familiar with the challenges ahead. They speak the language, know the customs, and understand what it takes to implement each program successfully.

 

 

Invest in education

Room to Read is on track to reach 10 million children by the year 2015, and you can help then get there. In a world with 793 million illiterate people—2/3 of whom are women and girls—the time to act is now.
