“I have struggled for 30 years to teach reading. In 2022, our school partnered with Room to Read. They trained us on how to teach using the five components of reading. Since then, all my learners are able to read and write, and one of my students won a provincial reading competition. Thank you, Room to Read, for your support.”

“Room to Read brightened my life in every possible way. I probably wouldn’t have completed school had it not been for the Girls’ Education Program. They stayed with me throughout all my difficulties. The life skills I learned helped me get a skilled job rather than working for low wages. Not only do I support myself and my family today, but I also get a chance to change the lives of more girls like me.”
