> Education Works
READ Foundation strongly believes in a world where education is accessible to all, because education is the weapon in the fight against poverty. Founded in Kashmir, it has been serving those in need for over two decades, and now operates in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Lebanon, Turkey and Yemen.
All of our projects ensure that the educational empowerment of marginalised communities is part of their central design. We are building and opening schools that provide an education to the world’s most vulnerable children, setting up mobile classrooms in refugee camps and conflict zones, offering one-to-one sponsorships for orphans, setting up shelters for homeless children in impoverished communities, and this is just the beginning.
Help us empower those in need.
YOU are the reason we’re changing lives
Whether it is in the rural villages of Pakistan, or the refugee camps in Lebanon, you are helping us reach and assist children and families worldwide.
