Problem

Studies reveal that the critical factor determining whether a child becomes a reader is access to reading materials, and specifically the presence of books at home. Yet in low-income neighborhoods, there is only one book for every 300 children, and 80% of preschool and after-school programs serving this population have no books at all for the children they serve.

The Gift

Your gift will bring brand new books directly to afterschool programs that support children's literacy and education.
