EDUCATION = CHANGE
We know that education equals many things. Education equals opportunity — the opportunity to dream, to realize passions, to make choices. Education also equals connection — connection to the people who nurture our confidence and encourage our success, to the communities that support our growth. And for many, including students enrolled in our Girls’ Education Program, education simply equals change. Room to Read’s Girls' Education Program prepares students to make positive change — in their own lives, in their communities and in the world. Through life skills curriculum, mentorship and peer support, as well as family and community engagement, our program ensures that girls have the tools they need to succeed in school and make key life decisions. Our work goes further by supporting young people of all genders to build knowledge and skills with which they can create a gender-equal world. And, we help governments deliver similar programs through their own education systems, creating change at scale.
