Global Teacher Shortage: Act Now

UNESCO warns that nearly 44 million teachers are needed to achieve universal education by 2030. This severe shortage of qualified teachers could deny the fundamental right to education for millions of children for decades to come.

Room to Read trains educators all over the world and we are teaming up with the Varkey Foundation to DOUBLE the impact of every donation made before June 30 while funds remain. Donate today and your gift will go 2X as far to help us accelerate and expand our educator trainings to benefit more students, more quickly.

Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children®, Room to Read helps children in historically low-income communities develop literacy skills and a habit of reading, and supports girls as they build life skills to succeed in school and negotiate key life decisions. We collaborate with local communities, partner organizations and governments to test and implement innovative models that can be integrated into education systems to deliver positive outcomes for children at scale. To date, Room to Read has benefited more than 39 million children across 24 countries and in more than 192,000 communities and aims to reach 40 million children by 2025. Join us. 

Your donation will be used where and when it is needed most, allowing us to deliver a comprehensive and holistic approach to education.
