Room to Read provides under-privileged children with an opportunity to gain the lifelong gift of education and break the cycle of poverty. Started in Nepal, the organization has extended to Cambodia, India and Vietnam. The group has established 200 libraries, partenered w/ 25 villages to build shcools, donated 100,000 books and granted 100 long-term girls' scholarships.
