She Creates Change

12 Incredible Stories of Girls from Room to Read's Girls' Education Program who Have Broken Barriers and Defied Expectations

Many of the girls in Room to Read’s Girls’ Education Program might be described as rebels. They refused to accept what would have been considered their fate—like marrying young or not receiving an education. 

At Room to Read, we celebrate those rebels 
who have discovered their own strength, advocated for themselves and forged their own paths.

Through our partnership with Rebel Girls, a global girl empowerment brand, 
we bring you a free PDF book featuring girls supported by our Girls’ Education Program who have broken barriers and defied expectations, and the heroes and role models that inspired them.

Amplifying Girls' Voices As They Create Change In The World

What You'll Find Inside

World Change Starts with Educated Children ®

Through education, Room to Read transforms the lives of millions of children to create a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality. We envision a world where all children have room to read, learn and grow and can use their skills to accelerate positive change.

Education is a human right, yet millions of girls globally are not in school. Room to Read’s Girls’ Education Program helps girls in historically low-income communities cultivate the skills they need to navigate economic and social barriers that block their path to a fulfilling life. Join us in supporting a new generation of educated girls to become leaders in their families, communities and the world.
