Build a Library in a Community

room-build.jpg

As part of the Reading Room Program, Room to Read constructs stand-alone library buildings in school communities that do not have enough space to dedicate a room to the project. Your sponsorship includes construction of the building in the local architectural style and the creation of a child-friendly learning environment that includes: books, furniture, games, puzzles, posters, librarian training, and three years of support from Room to Read.

Sponsors of library construction projects receive:

  • an Application Report, which describes the community in need, reasons for support;
  • a Progress Report with updates on construction; and
  • a Completion Report with a summary of the project and photos of the completed library, including a photo of the dedication plaque that is placed on the building.

By donating to this project, here’s what you will support:

  • $10,000: The cost to construct a stand-alone library in Cambodia, Laos, Nepal or Vietnam

You don’t have to build a library yourself! By pulling our resources together, we can help build libraries in communities across the world, one donation at a time.
