Rebuilding Futures, One Classroom at a Time.
Imagine a world where every child has access to education, regardless of location or circumstances. Sadly, this isn’t a reality for millions of children worldwide. In rural areas, many face dangerous journeys to distant schools or have no schools at all. READ Foundation’s ‘Open A School’ project is changing this narrative. We’re building safe, well-equipped schools in areas where none exist, providing children with more than just education. These schools offer a haven for learning, social interaction, and essential services like health support and nutrition. By opening a school, you’re not just building classrooms but constructing futures and transforming communities.
Education is the cornerstone of progress, but for many, it remains out of reach.
School closures have devastating consequences for children’s learning and well-being. Vulnerable children are being forced into child labour or even marriage.
UNESCO reports more than 800 million children worldwide continue to face disruptions to their education due to full or partial school closures.
Children worldwide – especially within impoverished communities – see school as a safe haven, a place where they can interact with their peers, seek support, and access health and immunization services and a nutritious meal. The longer schools remain closed within their region, the more children are cut off from these critical elements of childhood.
