All children should have equal access to books and education.

About FREAD

Pronounced as "freed," our name FREAD embodies our belief that every child should have the freedom to read, fun with reading, and a brighter future with reading. ​

Our mission is simple: to provide as many books and educational materials as possible to as many children as we can. Our commitment to respect for cultural diversity, local specificity, and basic human dignity guides how we plan and implement our programs. We prioritize the needs, voices, and agency of the children, students, and local actors we serve by creating open channels of communication and partnering with local organizations.
