A Message From IREAD’s Chairs

IREAD’s vision is that every child is given a holistic foundation to reach their full potential.

We do that by creating early childhood learning environments and opportunities through partnerships with rural communities in developing countries.

Over 3,000 young children are today attending 19 community-owned IREAD ECD Centres in Uganda, and 13 centres and 23 IREAD-supported community ECD sites in Northern Pakistan. That’s a lot of young lives benefiting from the opportunities early childhood education provides.

On behalf of the boards of IREAD Canada and IREAD USA and our in-country teams of volunteers and staff, thank you for your continued support of the children.
