World Change Starts with Educated Children · 24 November 2012

Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working with communities, partner organisations and governments, we develop literacy skills, a habit of reading, and support girls to complete school.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

"When a girl in the developing world receives seven or more years of education, she marries later and has 2.2 fewer children."

Children's dreams to go to school and receive an education are marred by too many barriers. A history of warefare and poverty, facilities and teachers in short supply, a lack of access to text books and supplies, having to travel treacherous, war damaged roads to get to the nearest school and family pressure to drop out and contribute to the the family income all restrict a child's ability to achieve their full potential and contribute to their community and the world.

While I know we can't save the world overnight, I think a small contribution to improving the opportunities for young girls to receive an education in Vietnam is a good place to start...
