THE TRAVEL + LEISURE GLOBAL BAZAAR BRINGS THE WORLD’S MOST EXCITING PLACES, BRANDS, AND PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR ONE WEEKEND IN NEW YORK CITY.

HOW WE HELP: ROOM TO READ


Travel + Leisure has partnered with Room to Read to pave a path out of poverty for millions of children through education. Our organizations share a commitment to literacy, the cornerstone of all learning and fundamental for participation in today’s global society. Yet, 793 million people across the globe lack the ability to read and write. Together we strive to give children, especially girls since they are often left out on the sidelines, a chance to go to school, learn in a safe environment and develop a love of books and reading.

SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2000, ROOM TO READ HAS IMPACTED THE LIVES OF OVER 6 MILLION CHILDREN IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD BY:

  • Constructing 1,556 schools
  • Establishing 13,152 libraries
  • Publishing 707 new local language children’s titles
  • Distributing over 11 million children’s books
  • Supporting over 16,879 girls’ education participants
