REACH TO READ
The Reach To Read Initiative by IT Nature Trust is a heartfelt and impactful effort to cultivate a love for reading among children in some of the most remote and underserved regions of India. Recognizing that many government primary schools and rural communities lack access to books beyond the standard academic curriculum, this initiative seeks to fill that void by establishing libraries that are both accessible and inspiring. These libraries are not just collections of books—they are gateways to imagination, creativity, and lifelong learning.
At the core of the initiative is the belief that reading should not be confined to textbooks. By introducing children to a wide variety of illustrated storybooks, folk tales, and age-appropriate literature, the program aims to spark curiosity and foster a genuine interest in reading. The libraries are set up in government primary schools and community spaces, ensuring that both students and local residents can benefit. This dual approach not only supports early education but also encourages a culture of reading within the broader community.
The initiative is being implemented in phases. In the first phase, libraries are being created in schools that currently have no access to books, each starting with a curated collection of 200 titles. The second phase focuses on expanding and enriching these libraries to meet the growing needs of young readers. Each library is designed to be a welcoming space where children can explore, dream, and grow through the power of stories.
In a world where digital distractions are ever-present, the Reach To Read Initiative is a gentle yet powerful reminder of the timeless magic of books. It is an invitation to be part of a movement that believes in the transformative power of stories and the boundless potential of young minds.
What makes Reach To Read truly special is its inclusive approach to support. While a donation of ₹10,000 can sponsor an entire library and includes a personalized plaque of recognition, the initiative warmly welcomes contributions of any amount. No donation is too small—every rupee helps bring books into the hands of children who might otherwise never experience the joy of reading for pleasure.
