Reading clubs to boost literacy of 200 children living in slums

In Bangladesh's slums in Dhaka, many children grow up without the chance to properly learn because of stretched family resources. And once a child falls behind in reading, they will find it hard to catch up in school.

This gift sets up 8 community reading clubs, creating learning spaces close to home where 200 children can strengthen their foundational reading skills through books, guided practice, and the steady rhythm of reading together. For a child, this gift brings the joy of learning, and the foundational skills for continuing to progress in school.
