Road to 40
We work, together with our parent organization Room to Read, with local communities throughout the developing world to provide quality educational opportunities by establishing libraries, creating local language children's literature, constructing schools, and providing education to girls.
We seek to intervene early in the lives of children in the belief that education empowers people to improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries and future generations.
Through the opportunities that only education can provide, we strive to break the cycle of poverty, one child at a time.
