Who We Are
The Read and Give Project (R&G) is a global, youth-led nonprofit dedicated to making books accessible to underserved communities. Through our network of 27 branches across 15+ countries, we’ve donated books and supplies to schools, shelters, and literacy centers. Our programs foster a love of reading by organizing book drives, literacy workshops, and youth-led storytelling initiatives. At the heart of our mission is the belief that every child deserves the chance to discover the power of stories.
