ROOM TO READ

Since 2013, Capco has partnered with Room to Read (RtR) on a variety of initiatives with a shared goal of improving literacy, gender equality and access to education. As part of our partnership, we have provided consulting and business skills to complete engagements including process automation, document management, and marketing projects. 

We have also provided financial support through corporate sponsorship and fundraising initiatives to support the building of new libraries and schools and fund literacy programs in the developing world.

ROOM TO READ SUCCESSES

Covid-19 impact:

Just as Capco had to adjust to serving its clients from home, Room to Read had to quickly pivot to distance learning in response to the pandemic.  With some creativity, they were able to maintain a strong impact on the students they support:

• Broadcasted TV and radio literacy programming to nearly 130 million households 
• Uploaded new content to their Literacy Cloud digital library, including 523 children’s book titles in 12 languages 
• Delivered 34,241 remote mentoring sessions to 23,759 Girls’ Education Program Participants. 
• Created global marketing materials, including videos, brochures, event invitations, and other content, to help Room to Read promote its services to donors, volunteers and people in the communities in which it operates.
