Our holiday wish list.
Unwrap World Change this holiday season with a gift that keeps on giving—first to your friends and family, and then to children across the developing world. Each gift comes with a great customisable e-card you can share with the recipient.
A bicycle for a girl
£35
School can often be two to 3 hours' walk from home along remote roads, making school an impossibility for millions. A bicycle can cut that time down dramatically. Room to Read's Girls' Education programme puts students in the fast lane, helping them navigate the road to a brighter future.
Fill a library with puzzles, games and educational toys
£35
Educational games, puzzles and toys ignite a child's imagination, develop critical thinking skills and teach problem solving. Room to Read's Reading Room programme establishes libraries filled with local language childrens' books, and provides three years of librarian training and support.
Commission a local author to write a children's book
£80
Many children in marginalised areas have never seen a book in their local language. Room to Read's Local Language Publishing programme produces colorful, culturally-relative books that entice the imagination and encourage learning.
All gifts are 100% tax deductible.
Printable or electronic gift cards are available once your donation is completed.
A year of girls' education
£150
Educating girls during their adolescence yields some of the highest investment returns. During the transition from primary to secondary school when most girls drop out, Room to Read's Girls' Education programme provides holistic support to assist girls to stay in and thrive in school.
Establish a great new library
£3,500
Open the door to a library, and you unlock the door to imagination, creativity and inspiration. Room to Read's Reading Room programme turns a room into a sanctuary of learning and potential.
Construction of a Primary School classroom block (4 rooms)
£22,000
Dilapidated or overcrowded schools are not conducive environments for successful learning and academic development. A school allows all children the opportunity to reach their true educational potential. With this gift comes the ability to dedicate the building to a loved one and plan a visit to the school to see first-hand the impact and difference this gift will make in the lives of thousands of children.
