We need your help - become a Friend of READ:

It costs us just 50p to send a book to East Africa and when we give a book it is not the end of the line, but the beginning of something else. So far we have distributed 850,000 textbooks in Tanzania and changed the stories of over 300,000 people in East Africa and the UK. You can help us change more people’s stories. Sign up to donate and you will receive the 'Friends of READ' newsletter to keep you up to date with developments in East Africa and the UK.  It’s quick and easy to do - just select one of the options of how much you can give below to set it up instantly online:
