It costs us just 50p to send a book to East Africa and when we give a book it is not the end of the line, but the beginning of something else.

READ: A good story...

So far we have distributed 564,000 textbooks in Tanzania and changed the stories of almost 300,000 people in East Africa and the UK. 

Your help to carry us forward...

READ's potential to make a significant impact on the experience of schooling and upon confidence and aspirations of young people is exciting and only the beginnings of what could be possible. But in the current financial climate, many sources of fundraising have become less certain, making it even harder to plan for the future and make commitments to the schools and students with which we work.

By making even a small donation you can help us to reach our potential in changing the stories of thousands more people in the UK and East Africa. And then they can reach theirs...
