About READ Foundation
We are READ Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing school places for children living in poverty who otherwise cannot afford to become educated. We have been implementing educational and welfare projects in the developing world since 1994. We started with just £200, one teacher, 25 children, and a desire to change the face of poverty forever with the steadfast belief that ‘education works.’ Today, we run 382 schools that together employ 5,438 teachers and educate 103,790 children, 9,960 of which are orphans.
